love.



I've been super into Mother Teresa lately. Mostly because I've been super into love's verb-ness lately. I get overwhelmed with how selfless and serving humans can be, and how much God can work in us if we allow. Anyways, since I'm not in Calcutta I hope to do my best in California....until one day maybe I can go to Calcutta :) 
Here is a prayer that Mother Teresa wrote on the wall of her home for children. I'm all about it. 



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.
