“It is prodigious the quantity of good that may be done by one man, if he will make a business of it.” #Ben Franklin #DoGood

Doing good to others, if you arise each day and make it one of your primary goals, will be transformational to you, your family, your organization, and your community.

I am not talking about occasionally slipping a few coins into a Salvation Army kettle or running in the annual 10K race to show your support for a local charity.  I am talking about adding to your calendar and budget regular, even daily, efforts to lift up the people around you in one way or another.  You get to pick how.

I am talking about doing good without discrimination so that your competition, even your enemy, receives blessing derived from you.

This is a strategic endeavor that becomes part of who you are.  As Benjamin Franklin said, you “make a business of it.”

It is an outflow of goodness that expects nothing in return—no publicity, no profits, no power.

But when you approach your life in this way, you can rest assured that your reward will be great![1]
