42 Every Good You Do is Like Putting Funds into a Savings Accoun (1/2)
”Immortality is to live your life doing good things, and leaving your mark behind.”
— Brandon
Being good has several advantages, a lot of people know this and they say it all the time, but being good goes beyond mere words, it has to be backed by actions. I am sure we
have heard the popular saying ”do good and it will be returned unto you.” So I ask, if this is true why is it that people don't make concerted efforts to be good all the time? This is one question I ask all the time, and every time I ask, itappears there are no answers.
Interestingly I have noticed something in the lives of people who bend backwards to touch lives and make others happy—they are very happy people as well, full of life, they display so much enthusiasm, in fact, their happiness is infectious. We don't need a star gazer to tell us why happy people seem to be happy all the time, it is a law of nature that what you sow is what you reap,
either in deed or thoughts. People who go around investing their time and money in making others happy will certainly draw good, even greater good unto themselves.
Not with standing the sermon you have heard on ”being good,” it can never be enough because it is a vast topic and it is also something that must become a habit instead of something you do when it is convenient. Imagine if you decide to give money to the poor and needy everyday of your life, no matter how small or you decide to put a smile on someone's face on a daily basis through an initiative that caters for the orphans or widows, imagine the good you would have done in 20 years.

The reason our world as imperfect as it is, is still habitable is because of the millions of people who through sweat and sacrifice, daily contribute to the basket of good and fairness. There are countless examples of great people who have dedicated their lives to doing good and I believe we can all emulate them. It is simply a thing of desire and sacrifice.
Like I suggested earlier, doing good should be a thing one constantly and deliberately work at till it becomes a habit, an example of a man who made it a habit to touch lives in his lifetime was Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola also known as
M.K.O Abiola, he was a father to many people, he made it a duty to do good while he was on earth, I never had the opportunity to meet him or benefit from his acts of goodness, but I have heard several stories from direct and indirect beneficiaries. I have also read stories about his community development efforts across the country, he was called the helper of the masses. He has since become the standard of measuring philanthropy in Nigeria. Apart from the great things he did to bring smiles upon the faces of people, he also funded great initiatives. He was called the pillar of sports in Africa for his contribution to development of sports in his home country Nigeria and the African continent. He also contributed in no small measure to education in Nigeria, in short no one can deny the fact that Chief M.K.O Abiola had a good heart and that he was a friend of the masses.
