Mother Teresa: "Do It Anyway"

This version was found on the wall in Mother Teresa's children's home in Calcutta:

              People are often unreasonable, irrational, 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 unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies.  Succeed anyway.

           If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you.  Be honest and sincere anyway.

            What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight.  Create anyway.

            If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous.  Be happy anyway.

            The good you do today, will often be forgotten.  Do good anyway.

         Give the best you have, and it will never be enough.  Give your best anyway.

         In the final analysis, it is between you and God.  It was never between you and them anyway.

Let's Talk About Mental Health...

On February 8, 2012, Bell Launches Let’s Talk Day – a national campaign which will raise awareness about mental health across Canada each year. Why? Because....one in five Canadians experiences a mental illness at some point in their lives. That means that every Canadian has a family member, friend or colleague coping with mental illness. [Insurance Journal 2003 as cited by the Government of Canada in The Human Face of Mental Illness, 2006]. Join the conversation. It's time to break down the stigma associated with mental illness. Be part of the conversation about mental health.
