I have some heroes in my life. One of which is Mother Theresa. She lived the life of loving-kindness. I am so humbled and inspired by her life and her ministry. That is why I am going to dedicate this blog to her.
No one set of words or poem or reflection can do justice to the person of Mother Theresa; but the following comes close.
The Final Analysis
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!
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.
"The poem, 'The Final Analysis' was written by Dr. Kent M. Keith and is frequently attributed to Mother Theresa as she had it posted on her wall - she knew a good poem when she read it."
