Look What I've Done

Some people make moves for notoriety, others make moves and don't care about recognition, but about leaving their mark on society.

Everyone wants to make a difference in some fashion, and that's good. You should want to leave your mark on society so that when it's your time to leave this world, you'll look back on your life with pride, knowing you left the world a little better than what it was. There are two kinds of people: Those who make moves for notoriety, and others who make moves without recognition. The people who make moves for notoriety are doing it for shallow reasons; they want to be seen. They're looking for accolades instead of wanting to feel good that they've made a difference. The true movers & shakers do so in silence; they don't care about notoriety. In fact, they prefer not to be recognized because someone will always come with another suggested "charity" for a donor. They look at the recipients thriving, and that's all the satisfaction they need. If you're going to help someone, your rationale has to be genuine. Otherwise, you're helping to be seen. If you're not getting recognized, you'll get in your feelings because you believe you should've gotten an award. That's proof you weren't genuine about making moves for the greater good.
