Anyway

2012-10-02 By Monica Leave a Comment

Buddha with Mountains

A beautiful message of encouragement from Mother Theresa:

Anyway

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.

From the wall in Mother Teresa’s home for children in Calcutta

An Ode to Success

Ode to Success

A sonnet

I thought upon my life I had success:
I worked to tiring, never took a break,
Made good money. But it all was a mess—
I had to step away for my life’s sake.

Now I’m my own boss, and make my own time,
I have more energy, and thus freedom—
Now I’ve got no corporate ladder to climb,
I’m so pleased with what my life has become.

I travel more, ‘tho money’s not as great,
No promotions, but a fine family,
My soul feels unleashed, to love and create—
At last, emotional stability.

No, success is not a destination:
It’s a spiritual journey to run.
