You can just do things for recognition. You can throw yourself into a project and spend hours on a task all for a few moments of someone telling you how great you are. That's a real thing. You can do something just to say you did it.

And I'm sure you've done that before. I know that I have.

It's nice to say you helped an old lady cross the street or that you spent hours dishing out groceries at the food pantry. But do you really do it -- do you really help someone -- if you aren't being fully selfless? Sure, that old lady made it across the street safely and that family got their groceries, but are you really helping? Or are you just doing it because you feel like you have to? 

I like the anonymity in this photo because that is what it should be like when you help others. You don't need people to know who you are or see you helping. You just need to do it. You just need to help people. That's what we're here for. You have to be willing to want to help other people. Sometimes, we spend a lot of time wanting people to see us doing good works. However, maybe it is actually when no one sees you do that good deed, that you really did it.

catch you later,
