Mother Theresa's Poem

A week ago while attending yoga class the instructor, towards the end of class read this poem and I thought it was such an inspirational poem that I asked her for a copy. This poem was written by Mother Theresa and is engraved on the wall of her home for children in Calcutta. So I would like to share this poem with you and hope you find it just as inspirational as I have. Enjoy

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered;

Forgive them anyway.

If your 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 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 never was between you and them anyway.
