An internal phenomenon

"The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self-respect, dignity (self-worth), integrity, and self-esteem." by Dr. Laura Schlessinger

This quote means that when you do something right you get rewarded by feeling good. By feeling good I mean that you are proud of yourself for doing good deeds for others. You are mostly doing it for yourself because you are the one who gains respect and dignity. People will know you as the good person you are when you do good things. They will also have respect for you because of the things you do for others and yourself. Sometimes it is not about receiving an award, it about doing things to make you feel good. It’s about showing the world your kindness and respect. Don’t always think that just because you did something good you’re going to get a reward for that. Do the right things because then you’ll feel good about yourself. Be kind to others and always help those people in need.
