selfish and noble

I was thinking this morning and it seems that I am on a bit of a kick to share my inner offerings, and personal thoughts.
This came to me as I was daydreaming to try to escape the hectic morning I am having at work. no particular lead in to this thought, just randomly came to me, as most people that know me, find out just how my random comments can be.
One thing to keep in mind when performing acts of nobility, is that you should be selfish about your motivations.
Doing something because you want others to notice your noble act , puts you in a posititon of expectation. This expectation can easily be thwarted, due to the inaction and little recognigtion you may recieve as a result of your deed.
One must be selfish in thier motivation, act soley based upon making oneself feel better about themselves, and out of a desire to be honest for the sake of nobility and what is right, and just. This seems to be the only true way to achieve inner peace and happiness, which, is a really awesome thing if you experience it.
