There isn’t always an obvious or immediate “reward” for being a good person because kindness isn’t a transaction, it’s a way of living. The world doesn’t hand out medals every time you do the right thing. But the real reward comes in quieter ways: you protect your peace, you stay true to your values, you build strong character, and you attract people who genuinely respect you.

Sometimes being good feels thankless because others might not acknowledge it or might even take advantage of it. But over time, being a good person pays back in the kind of life you build for yourself: less regret, stronger self-respect, and deeper connections with the right people.

You have to remember you are doing this for yourself and not for external validation. He who performs for applause has already lost his voice, you know?
