Imagine owning a car wash.
At the end of the day, you can count the money you have made. That is one kind of profit.
But there is another profit that cannot be counted.
It is in the smile of the person who drives away in a clean, shining car. In the small joy it brings to someone who has had a difficult day. In the feeling that, somehow, life looks a little better than it did an hour ago.
Every business leaves something behind in the lives of the people it serves.
We can measure our success by how much money we make.
But perhaps we should also measure it by how many lives we make a little better.
Because money tells us what we have gained.
The lives we touch tell us what we have given.
True happiness lies perhaps as much or even more in the second type of profit๐
