The following poem is said to be written by Mother Teresa:
"People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of alterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."
I love the meaning behind this poem. I believe this is how God wants us to live. To give our best for Him regardless of the outcome and then ... keep giving our best even if things don't turn out the way we expected.
