What's Your Reward?

Here’s a question The Grasshopper posed one morning: “What’s your reward for doing what you do?”

We do lots of “necessary” stuff in a day, a week, a year, a lifetime, but do we ever stop and consider the reward?

Is there one?

My guess is if there wasn’t one, we would eventually find a way to stop doing what we do.

I invite heresy when I assert that Mother Teresa wasn’t entirely altruistic when doing her missionary work for a lifetime. There was a reward in there somewhere or she would’ve stopped doing it long before death stopped her.

Even selfless people get a reward.

Notice it’s easy to complain about what you do, but if you keep on doing it, there’s a likely reward that you’re overlooking.

Since the advent of social media, it’s easy to read parents’ complaints about doing what they “have” to do. Rarely do I read about the reward they get for doing it.

We won’t stop complaining anytime soon, but it just may be worthwhile to balance our complaints by considering the rewards.

What’s your reward? If there isn’t one, my guess is, sooner, rather than later, you’ll pursue something else that provides one.

Here’s a suggestion: Become a bounty hunter and find out what your reward is. It just may tamp down your complaints long enough to have a rewarding experience. 

All the best,

John
