Do Love Anyway: Mother Teresa's Manifesto for the 143 Army
Here's how it equips us to love relentlessly in a world that tests us daily.

This isn't just poetry.
It's a battle plan.
I've carried this manifesto through divorce, business pivots...
and moments when the world felt like it was unraveling.
Each line hits different when you're living it.
But here's why it perfectly arms 143 Army for our mission:
All Love For All People.
People Are Unreasonable?
Love Them Anyway.
143 missions aren't about warm fuzzies.
They're weapons against fear and hate.
Someone cuts you off in traffic?
Pay for their coffee anyway.
That colleague ghosts your email?
Drop a 1:43 note of encouragement anyway.
Unreasonable doesn't get a vote.
They'll Accuse You of Ulterior Motives?
Be Kind Anyway.
My mom cleaned my boys' disaster-room last weekend.
No post. No credit. Just love.
That's 143 Army.
Invisible service > savior complex.
Set your alarm. Serve quietly. Let God sort the motives.
Success Wins Enemies?
Succeed Anyway.
Building 143 Army draws fire.
Haters gonna hate.
But one selfless act sparks another.
Like Newton's 3rd Law, but with love.
Quantum physics nods. God designed it that way.
They'll Destroy Your Work Overnight?
Create Anyway.
Life's a stress scale:
- Divorce (73 points)
- New business (39)
- Custody fight (way more).
Stack 'em up.
Still do the mission.
Not in spite of our circumstances.
But because we remember our blessings.
At 1:43 PM, drop everything. Love on somebody.
They'll Be Jealous of Your Peace?
Be Happy Anyway.
Forgiveness isn't weakness.
It's training unconditional love as your reflex.
Clear eyes. Full heart. Can't lose.
Forgive relentlessly. Serve daily.
Good Forgotten?
Do Good Anyway.
MISSION #22: THE INVISIBLE SERVICE
- Pick someone you love. Or a complete stranger.
- Clean up a mess (physical or emotional) they don’t have the energy to face.
- Don’t post it. Just do it.
The wave builds unseen.
They'll Never Say Thanks?
Give Your Best Anyway.
This is between you and God.
143 Army isn't likes or logos.
It's souls aligning at 1:43.
Hustle. Heart. Love. Every time.
Mother Teresa knew: the fight's rigged, but love wins.
Set the alarm.
Do Love Anyway.
