Do It Anyway

People can be the worst, can’t they?  We do our best.  We try.  We reason.  We go out of our way, yet sometimes we get sand kicked into our eyes. 

Sometimes, we do a thing simply because it needs doing.  This is a fundamental principle of living.  Nothing happens until someone steps up and finishes the task.  

This poem based on something Mother Teresa wrote once is perfect for our thought today.

People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered

Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.

Do good anyway.

If you are successful you will win false friends and true enemies.

Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.

Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest people with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest people with the smallest minds.

Think big anyway.

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.

Fight for some underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.

Build anyway.

Give the world the best you’ve got and you’ll get kicked in the teeth.

Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

Go and live your life.

Dream your dreams.  Give them feet and wings.

Give a helping hand to someone in need

Read and study in your area of interest.

The world is waiting for someone just like you who will dare to make a difference.

Do it anyway!
