Mother Teresa's Perspective on Life

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 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 may 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.

Mother Teresa
