Being "good" will not make you invulnerable to disease, assure you of job promotions, or protect your children. Even being yourself will not add or subtract one iota from your life; it will only make your perceptions a bit more keen, soften your heart a little, deepen your dark places until they sound the depths, and brighten your shining to reflect your experience more clearly.
