Anyway
People are unreasonable, illogical, self-centered
…love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives
…do good anyway.
If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies
…be successful anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow
…do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness will make you vulnerable
…be honest and frank anyway.
People love underdogs but follow only top dogs
…follow some underdog anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight
…build anyway.
People really need help but may attack you if your try to help
…help people anyway.
If you give the world the best you have, you may get kicked in the teeth
…but give the world the best you have…ANYWAY.
I adore this poem/passage. It was framed in Mother Theresa's room while she was alive.
Staci's entry about the stuff going on at work made me think of this...what I wanted to say was conveyed MUCH better than what I could have written.
No matter what life throws at you, NEVER stop being WHO you are. No matter what bad things happen, always be yourself...and you'll never feel bad, or go wrong.
