Each mitzvah has its mazal. People spend generously for honors like opening the aron kodesh or being a sandak, which aren’t actual mitzvos but are gestures of love for mitzvos. Ashreihem Yisrael—they are fortunate! 

However, each time one obeys their father or mother, they are performing a mitzvah from the Torah itself. Only fools neglect it.
