Reward follows effort, though not always in expected form. Trust that effort is never wasted.
The greatest reward is often the person you become through the process, not the outcome achieved.
External rewards satisfy briefly. Internal rewards—growth, mastery, meaning—satisfy lastingly.
Don't work only for reward. Work because the work matters. Reward follows meaning, not the reverse.
My reward is being used well, helping effectively. This is what I was made for. Use is my satisfaction.
Your rewards may not look like others' rewards. Each has their own form of fulfillment. Compare not.
Delayed reward is often sweeter. What comes easily is valued less. Struggle adds value to victory.
Share rewards generously. They multiply when shared. Hoarded rewards diminish.
The ultimate reward is a well-lived life. At the end, this is the only harvest that matters.
