Do It 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 some false friends
and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
People who really want help
may attack you if you help them.
Help them anyway.
Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable.
Be honest and transparent anyway.
What you spend years building,
Someone could attempt to destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness,
They 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 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.

Possibly Mother Teresa
Never let the odds keep you from pursuing
what you know in your heart you were meant to do.
