Ever found yourself doing a good deed just to get noticed? Nelson H. has been there, and in this episode of 'LOL Sober', he shares a story that might make you rethink how you view gratitude. Picture this: Nelson steps out of his office for a quick break and heads to Cumberland Farms for a soda. As he's leaving, he spots a wallet scattered across the street. Cards everywhere.
Instead of just walking by, he decides to gather everything up and find the owner. But here's the kicker—he catches himself expecting a pat on the back for his good deed. This episode dives into Nelson's journey of realizing that true gratitude doesn’t come with strings attached. Through this simple yet powerful story, he highlights the importance of doing good for its own sake, not for the recognition.
