"If you are kind; people may accuse you of being selfish, having ulterior motives;Be kind anyway.
People are often unreasonable; illogical and self-centered;
Forgive them 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 them 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."
... People, Mother Theresa
We do things for other people ... for the sake of Allah; we help, give, love, care, share, forgive etc for the sake of Allah. Our intentions should always be for His sake and pleasure.
... then; whatever they do or say won't harm you Insya-Allah;
because it was for Allah anyway...

I shared that line about success with my other half some years back. He was blown away by it.
Where did this come from? Can't remember now.
