Do It Anyway

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 are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create 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 will 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.

I would love to take credit for these words, but they are from Mother Teresa, who adapted it from a man named Kent Keith. These words inspire me to always do my best. It is my prayer they will do the same for you today!

Bottom Line: Don’t just shake the haters off. Love the haters and pray for the haters. Most important, don’t let the haters stop you from doing what you are destined to do.
