...this sentence should read...
Do good! OR
Do good, because you want to! OR
Do good, because you may feel good about it!
We cannot guarantee that if we do good, good will definitely come to us, or if we respect someone, we will be respected back in return, or if we love someone, that our love, or the extent to which we love, will be reciprocated in equal or more measure, or reciprocated at all.
We cannot guarantee 'our expectations' for reciprocity, in situations that are dependent on another's personality and /or free will!
Such expectations could set us up for failure, and lead to resentment towards the other. Such expectations are also unfair pressure on the other!
Why should we be doing good, expecting good in return! Doing good, in itself, like any such high vibration emotion / aspect - love, joy, respect, giving - that would fall under the 'doing good' category are self-rewarding, because of how they make us feel.
Therefore, we need not expect a reciprocation from another being or the universe, to be a 'befitting and equal reward', but, probably an 'added bonus', if it does return.
Also, everything that we do, or don't do, and the way in which we do or don't do something, speaks volumes of us! It represents us! It has nothing to do with another.
So, when we do good, or when we are respectful or mindful towards others, it reflects us, our being, our soul!
How would we like to represent ourself? What would we be proud of, when we review our life occasionally, or review our day? If we have 'done good' in different ways, and in different situations, on a day, wouldn't we feel good and proud of it!
How do we feel when we tell a loved one, that we love them? or when we have been there for someone, in their time of need? or when we make someone laugh? It would feel good - INSTANTLY!
That is our true GUARANTEED reward, that we feel internally, and instantly. But, we fail to realise this, because we are too attached to the external validation, that we seek in the form of the un-guaranteed, most often illusive, reciprocation from the other.
SoulNote to Self: Do good, because you want to!
This is an important realisation!
I cannot guarantee how another would feel or react to my expression of thought, emotion or action. But, if my expression brings me guaranteed internal and instant joy and bliss, I must express or act towards it, without any expectations from the other.
In every moment, I must be 'true to myself' and express with as much integrity, as I can. The genuineness of my expression will automatically reflect the genuineness of my intent, and the purity of my soul!
I love making the world around me a better place! I love being a beacon of hope, an ambassador of love, compassion, forgiveness and peace! I love to inspire myself and others into 'meaningful expression of our true-self', and 'inspired action' by stepping into our power to be who we are truly meant to be!
I will do all of this, because, I simply want to; it resonates with my soul; it makes me happy!
I will 'do good', because I simply love doing so!
Love, from my soul to yours!
Soulful
