"Mother Teresa hung a copy of this poem on a wall of the orphanage she founded in Calcutta. Its source is unknown.
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 is never between you and them anyway. "

I guess I'm not the only late night blogger. I love that quote, it reminds me of that Martina McBride song. Maybe that quote was her inspiration? I missed you this week! I hope all is well. Call me if you want to swim Friday.
Love this! Thank you.
That is a keeper!
I can see why you valued this quote, it's powerful. It's now one of my favorite too. Thanks dear-one for sharing.
It is worth making a copy of this one and adding it to "my favorites" Have a great day!
