Just thought I’d share this insightful and inspiring message once spoken by Mother Teresa of Calcutta.  Enjoy your Christmas day with your family and friends as well as the upcoming new year.  Hoping 2010 will be your most gratifying year yet!!

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 may destroy overnight;

Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;

Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, People will forget tomorrow;

Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have,

and it may never be enough;

Give the world the best you have anyway.

You see, in the final analysis,

it is all between you and God;

It was never between you and them anyway.

-Mother Teresa of Calcutta-
