Hey, let’s talk. Life today? It’s overwhelming. Deadlines, social media trends, peer pressure, and the never-ending chase to live your "best life"—it’s exhausting, isn’t it? Amid all this chaos, it’s easy to feel adrift. And when the world feels overwhelming, the quick fix often seems tempting—parties, drinking, or something even riskier. After all, who doesn’t want that kick to feel alive?
But what if I told you there’s a kick far better, far deeper, and way more lasting than any of that? And it’s not boring. It’s transformative. Let me tell you about Scott Harrison, someone who figured this out in the most incredible way.
A Real-Life Transformation: Scott Harrison
Scott Harrison appeared to have it all. As one of New York City’s top nightclub promoters, he was the life of the party—hosting events, rubbing shoulders with celebrities, and enjoying VIP treatment every night. On the outside, he was living the dream. But on the inside, he felt empty. His health was crumbling, and so was his sense of purpose. Sound familiar?
Then one day, he hit pause. He left it all behind and took a leap of faith, joining a humanitarian mission to West Africa. What he saw there changed him forever—entire communities suffering because they didn’t have access to something as basic as clean water. Scott knew he had to do something.
So, he started charity: water, a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing clean drinking water to people in need. Since its inception, charity: water has helped over 15 million people in 29 countries get access to safe water. Scott often says that the joy and fulfillment he feels now are incomparable to the highs he once chased.

The High of Doing Good
Here’s the thing: Choosing to do the right thing doesn’t mean you’re signing up for a dull, uneventful life. Helping someone, creating a positive impact, or just being a force for good in your own small way can give you a rush unlike anything else. Think of it as a “kick” that doesn’t fade, a feeling that doesn’t leave you craving for more because it’s already so fulfilling.
Why It’s Worth It
1. You Find Yourself
When you choose to do good, your perspective shifts. Instead of dwelling on what’s wrong, you focus on how to make things right. This clarity feels like stepping out of the storm into calm waters.
2. You Inspire Others
When you choose to rise above, to do something meaningful, people notice. Your actions can spark change in ways you may never even see.
3. You Build a Legacy
Think about Scott. He didn’t just fix his life; he’s now changing the lives of millions. You might not start a global charity, but your small actions can still leave a lasting impact.
How to Choose the Right Path
Start Small
You don’t need to revolutionize the world in a day. Help someone in your community, volunteer for a cause, or just be kinder. Every small act adds up.
Find What Moves You
Scott’s purpose came from seeing people suffer without clean water. What’s your cause? Is it education, mental health, or climate change? Find what matters to you and go after it.
Celebrate the Journey
Doing good doesn’t have to be serious all the time. Have fun while making a difference. Organise events, join creative projects, or simply spread joy in your own unique way.
The Kick of Doing Good
Think about it: Imagine waking up each day knowing you’ve made someone’s life brighter, their burden lighter. Isn’t that a purpose worth pursuing? That’s the real high. It’s not fleeting; it’s deeply fulfilling. It’s the kind of feeling that Scott Harrison found when he turned his life around, and it’s the same feeling waiting for you when you choose to do good.
The world doesn’t need more perfect people. It needs people willing to care enough to make a difference
This Is Your Call
So, what will it be? The temporary distractions that only leave you feeling emptier, or the lasting joy of knowing you’re making a difference? The choice is yours, and trust me, it’s one you’ll never regret.
Let’s commit to choosing good, even when life gets chaotic. The world needs people like you—ready to care, ready to act. So, are you ready to feel that lasting joy, the real kick of making a difference?
