This is one of my all time favorite quotes. I often read it to myself when I need to encourage myself to keep going.
Quote:
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 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, 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 was never between you and them anyway.
-Mother Theresa
Question:
What is your current “anyway”?
Mine? People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway.
My church friends may not understand the God kind of faith that I have, but I’ll stand in faith anyway!
“If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.”
If you pursue your dream, in God’s will, it will often be hard. Pursue it anyway.
This would be mine too. The hard makes me want to run away…or just not try.
Pursue it anyway.
(Love this Joanne!)
You may not understand the the direction and purpose of the path God is leading you on! Keep following him anyway!
Absolutely LOVE IT!!! I’m definitely taking this one with me.
I forgot to add my “anyway.” If your encouragement is not well received, encourage anyway!
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.
goodness gracious my “anyway” list goes on and on…some very close the soul and others so exposed they are they “streakers.”
Each is embodied in…
“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 was never between you and them anyway.”
You have no idea how much these words impact my heart. I’ve heard them before. Copied them in journals. Know more about the life of this amazing woman of God than most. Today, these words just resonate…thank you mother Teresa and thank you mrs. S.
you just so totally rock. totally rock.
Your children will drive you crazy. Love them anyway.
Oh, I kid.
My current anyway is things may not be going exactly the way you think they should be (or how you would plan them!). Follow Him anyway.
This quote is amazing! One we need to always remember!
Taking over 2 weeks of time out of a busy summer to visit my 87 year old Mom and only do what she wants to do is hard to do and be joyful about. I’m doing it anyway.
