Your reward for generosity.

But there is a reward. 

The irony of yesterday’s post..

Even if the school doesn’t give a reward for perfect attendance. 

The reward is practicing showing up. 

And the reward for showing up is putting oneself in position to learn.

And the reward for learning..

+ the rewards in building relationships with teachers and peers.

Often, the greatest reward is not the one being advertised.

Not the one you’re chasing.

Not the immediate one. 

It’s often hidden and unknown.

It reveals itself when least expected. 

It’s not from an outside source. 

It’s embedded.

………..happening in real time.

P.S. I received this reward 25 years ago, yet this wasn’t the real reward. Which probably explains why my name is spelled wrong. 😊
