I stumbled upon it while was browsing my newsfeed on FB and I feel that it is worth sharing to give us some motivation to do good things despite of everything...
"People are often unreasonable and self-centered, forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people will accuse you of ulterior motives, be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people might cheat you, be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people might get jealous, be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow, do good anyway.
Give the world the world the best you have and it may never be enough, give your best anyway...
For you see in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."
(Mother Theresa)
we are not exactly born like Mother Theresa but the indelible mark she left to the world in giving the true essence of reaching out to others and being selfless is truly worth inspiring. This may sound easier said than done...but can we do it anyway???

Exactly friend ! At the end of our journey , there would no longer be wife , husband , partner, boyfriend /girlfriend or relative .It would only be God and you , face to face with God . God will rewind and play our life . Hope your life story is worth watching !

The lesson is to ignore the crap and do your best. What else can you do if you want to do something ?

Thank you for sharing this I really enjoyed reading it and how true everything that is stated here we can all live by, I suppose to sum it up it means to really turn the other cheek great article.

i try my best not to intentionally hurt other people in whatever i do in my life. this always has been my philosophy. however, as iare not perfect, i sometimes unintentionally hurt others. i usually apologize if i realise my mistakes and try to repair the damages.
when people hurt or make me mad i feel an irresistible urge to fight back and lash out in my most ferocious way. but i don't always give in to my impulses. i may rave and rant about the object of my ire but i usually calm down after a few minutes.
we have been taught moral values early in life. as we grow older we also gather pearls of wisdom from the people who touch our lives. we read books about the lives of those great people who, with their good deeds, made the world a better place. in spite of these, sometimes we go astray.
mother theresa was a living saint. she inspired millions with her life.
i would feel like a useless garbage if i were to compare my life with hers. i can never (in all honesty) say that i can always do the things that she advised us in this quote.
