Good Deeds Don’t Need an Audience
I’ve been reading Right Thing Right Now by Ryan Holiday and one chapter stopped me in my tracks.
It’s about a woman who donated her kidney, an incredible life saving act. But here’s the kicker. She didn’t do it just to help. She wanted the praise.She even reached out to an acquaintance and asked why they hadn’t congratulated her.
That backfired and blew up because people can smell when the motive isn’t pure. It made me think of all the videos we see of people filming themselves helping someone on the street.
Is the act about the person in need or the person holding the phone. Real virtue doesn’t need an audience. The reward is internal. Doing the right thing is the reward.
If you share a good deed let it be to inspire others to act not to collect congratulations.
Because when the cameras are off and the comments fade the question remains.
Would you still do it if nobody knew.
Cilvil War? Not Today Satan
The state of America has me shaken. A Ukrainian woman was stabbed on a bus and Charlie Kirk was murdered in Utah. Instead of coming together in grief, the media spins the story and people turn on each other. White against black, Democrat against Republican, good against evil. It feels like the system wants us divided.
What hit me hardest were the reactions online. There were people actually cheering Charlie Kirk’s death. Let that sink in. I’ll be real, I didn’t always agree with Charlie. He was blunt and roasted liberals with their own logic. When people suddenly didn’t know what a woman was, he would ask a simple question: what is your mother? That kind of directness made people uncomfortable.
But none of that matters now. A man is dead. He had a family. He spoke his truth. And there are folks celebrating his assassination. If you think someone deserves to be murdered for their words, you are the problem. That is evil. Freedom of speech is not negotiable, and the people applauding violence are exactly the reason we must keep speaking.
We need peace. Anything else will ruin this world, and that is exactly what the powers that be want. Chaos that lets them step in and take control. Do not give them that power. Stand for truth. Stand for life. Stand for freedom.
UFC Noche
The annual Latin show is this weekend in San Antonio. Headlined by Diego Lopes and Jean Silva. It’s a big fight. Lopes coming off a loss to Volk and Jean submitted Bryce Mitchell. It’s gonna be a war. I think Diego can beat Jean tho if he stays poised. Silva is a loose canon and undefeated in the UFC but can get wreckless in there, very intriguing fight.
Rob Font is in the Co main vs against a new opponent. Was scheduled for Raul Rosa’s but he pulled pretty recently. I wish Rob my best, he’s been looking better than ever since training with GSPs old coach.
Gastelum weighed 4lbs over the limit… cmon bruh. Good luck to Tatiana Suarez. She’s a sav!
UFC Boxing
Dana making their boxing debut. Crawford vs Canelo. This should be a fun one. I’m thinking this fight goes over 10.5. I don’t see any of these guys getting finished. That’s the bet I’m taking here.
#1 Cause of soreness: SHOCK ENERGY
Regular insoles just cushion. FP Insoles transform every step:
Absorb 90% of impact – up to 3× more shock protection than standard insoles, saving your knees, hips, and back.
Custom heat-mold fit – material shapes perfectly to your foot for true orthotic support.
Energy return tech – each step feels lighter, reducing fatigue so you can stay on your feet longer.
Built to last – won’t flatten out like cheap foam, even under heavy training or long shifts.
Pro-level performance – trusted by elite athletes, skaters, and anyone who demands all-day comfort.
Why settle for average when you can have game-changing support in any shoe?
That’s a wrap for this week’s MPG Letter.
