To be a benevolent person [or leader, producer, creator, performer] is to do what you do in purity. For the right reasons. In high integrity. Only for the good of other people.
I’m not saying there’s something wrong with also doing good for yourself. Self-love is an essential ritual. And win-win is a great game to play.
And yet, you’ll ascend into the heavens of your greatest nature, finest nobility and most honorable heroism when you give for the sake of giving. Not getting.
Philanthropy to get your name on a hospital wing isn’t real philanthropy, is it? It’s vanity.
Doing something for a loved one, a neighbor or a teammate and waiting for even a thank you destroys the magic of the glorious act that you did.
Just give them their reward. That’s your reward.
No strings attached. No reply required. No applause necessary.
In so doing, you‘ll become the ruler over your neediest desires, your ego’s relentless demands and all disloyalty to your primal powers.
And wouldn’t this be the ultimate gift?
