"Do It Anyway" Poem

[waterlily327]

Disclaimer: This is a religiously-themed post, and as I know some people are not comfortable with that. I just wanted to give the heads up so no one will be offended. I just found these words inspiring and wanted to share them with others here!

My Mom shared this poem with me today, and it brought tears to my eyes. I have been pretty discouraged with the way people have been treating me, Rock, and my family lately, and I needed to hear these words. I hope that, by passing them on, these words will help someone else out like they helped me. In the end, doing the right thing is never going to hurt. *hugs*

Do It Anyway
By: Mother Teresa

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.

Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.
