Do you want to feel good, or do you want to do good?
Meaning of the quote
The quote is asking you to choose between two things: doing what makes you feel good in the moment, or doing what is actually good and helpful for others. It's encouraging you to think about whether you should focus on your own immediate happiness or on doing the right thing, even if it's harder. The quote suggests that you can't always have both, and you have to decide which is more important to you.
