The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: 

self-respect, dignity, integrity, and self-esteem.

-Dr. Laura Schlessinger

We you do right you will always feel good about. You might not see it right away but with time you will see the change in yourself! You'll learn to like yourself better. For example I saw someone drop $50 and instead of keeping then i caught up with the person and gave them to her. She was so happy and thankful. I felt very proud and good of myself.
