do "It" anyway.

The following is officially attributed to Mother Theresa and is said to have been painted on the wall of her room at the orphanage she ran in Calcutta, India.

Do it anyway!!!

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.

I do have a specific context in mind for this goal, at this moment, but it’s a good general actionable slogan anyway. Whenever you want something but you’re also afraid, whenever your damage or your neurosis or your sundry baggage trips you up as you find yourself trying to change how you live.

Life is scary, a lot of the time, but you’ve got to live. Fucking do it anyway.
