I think this a version of Sister Theresa's
I have it on my fridge
A LESSON IN FORGIVENESS
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, there may be jealousy -
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.
