Do It Anyway - Mother Teresa

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.

Gebed vir die week

O God, as ek vandag kos het,
help my om die hongeres te onthou.
As ek werk het,
help my om die werkloses nie te vergeet nie.
As ek ’n warm huis het,
herinner my aan die haweloses.
As ek sonder pyn kan lewe,
gee my deernis met dié wat ly.
En as ek húlle onthou wat nie het wat ék het nie,
verlos my van my selfvoldaanheid,
sodat ek uit my gemaksone sal kom
en met woorde en dade diegene sal help
wat met hul oë roep na alles
wat ek as vanselfsprekend aanvaar.
