One of the messages that I see daily reads:
" Do the right thing for the right reason"
~Mathew 6 (1-4) (5-8)
The bill board ,sponsored by Holy Name Hospital, always has some quotes and motivations along with what ever services and programs they are running.
I am not big on scripture , particularity New Testament, however this verse has intrigued me for weeks now.
In its simple message it sums up exactly how I feel I want to live my life.
Today, I actually Googled this verse .
I could not find any site that interprets this section of Mathew quite as simplistically as our good friends at Holy Name Hospital have. However, I can see where and how they could derive this message from the writings.
In any case, it does speak to the core of what I believe.
I hope that in every instance,my motivation to do something is because it is the right thing to do.
Sounds simple enough.
It's takes the Nike slogan to a completely different level.
Just Do It is not enough.
Do it because it's the right thing to do.
Don't expect a reward.
Don't expect praise.
Don't look for financial gains or "what's in it for me?"
Do it because it's the right thing to do.
It's just that simple!
Ho Ho Ho!
