Anyway

I was talking to a an aquantance the other day, and our conversation reminded me of this poem.
Mother Teresa had written this poem on the wall of her home. Whenever I encounter this type of negativity, I read this poem and it helps me to feel better. I hope in times of insecurity it helps you too.

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.
