Anyway
(attributed to Mother Teresa)
People are often unreasonable, illogical, 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 false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.
You see, in the FINAL Analysis, it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.
Originally written as “The Paradoxical Commandments” by Dr. Kent M. Keith in 1968; this version that Mother Teresa put up on the wall of her children’s home in Calcutta was entitled “Anyway” and consisted of eight of the original ten Paradoxical Commandments, reformatted as a poem. Anyway, it speaks volumes.
