Why bother doing all that you can, Dear One, when you can get by doing just enough?

Why bother doing the right the thing when no one really seems to care or to even be paying attention?

Why bother trusting, and making the harder, braver, more challenging choice when you’ve got something to lose?

Why bother putting in the extra effort to be thoughtful, generous, loving, persistent, patient, forgiving, and kind when it is not requested, required or expected?

Because what you put out into the world, Dear One, is what you get back.

(Although not necessarily from the same energetic pot that you contributed to, so keep your eyes, ears, and heart open, because it could come back to you in any number of surprisingly unexpected ways.)

That’s why.
