“The Success of a Physical Life is Beautiful, most worthy,
but the Perfection of Yourself is a thousand times more valuable
than all of the wealth you can accumulate about you.”

The following message was hung in the office of Mother Teresa:

 ANYWAY

People are often unreasonable, illogical, 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 false friends and 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, people may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may not seem to be enough.
Give the world the best you have anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God.
It was never between you and them anyway.

May you prosper all the days of your life, under grace and in perfect ways.

blessings,
🙂 Lee
