Mother Teresa's Prayer

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.
(Mother Teresa's Prayer)
