What guides your actions?

While Jesus taught to “let not your left hand know what your right hand doeth” with regard to giving alms, the key is about motivation. Those who do alms to be seen if men have their reward. Those who do alms without desiring to be seen may yet be seen but if their desire is to do alms rather than to be seen them there may still be times when they do then publicly for the purpose of doing more good (because at times the act of being seen had its own added value to the cause). Accolades may come to them but as long as they strive to lay up treasures in heaven rather than striving for the accolades then there is no harm in the accolades that accrue on Earth as well.
