Day 4 – Mother Teresa was right!
Everyone who knows anything about the life of Mother Teresa has great admiration for the work that she did throughout her life. Bily Graham once was asked, “if good works could get you to heaven, on a scale of 1-10 where would you be?” When hearing Mother Teresa had answered that same question with a 7 or 8, Doctor Graham said, no where close to Mother Teresa.”
A few years ago, I ran across some words that she penned. It encouraged me greatly and I’ve tried to make these words a part of my lifestyle. Here they are. I hope you not only enjoy them, but put them to good use.
Anyway….By Mother Teresa
People are unreasonable, illogical, and self centered, love them anyway
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish motives, Do good anyway
The good you do today will be forgotten, do good anyway
If you are successful you win false friends and true enemies, succeed anyway
Honesty and Frankness make you vulnerable, be honest and frank 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
People really need help but may attack you if you help them, Help them anyway
Give the world the best you have and you’ll get kicked in the teeth, give the world the best you’ve got anyway
