Have you ever heard of the term Pay It Forward? Yes, it was a movie (I never saw it). It's also a foundation (I don’t belong to it). BUT, I do practice “paying it forward” as often as possible. The concept is simple…
Do something kind for someone and that person does something for someone and so on and so on. The idea is that you can have an impact on many people just from putting the ball in motion. I like doing something unexpectedly nice for someone. I call it a “random act of kindness”.
Over the past few weeks I’ve had my butt kicked at every turn. I finally reconciled myself to the fact that I must need to learn some lesson.
So to get myself out of this “funk” I decided to “set the ball in motion”. I went out of my way to do something special for a deserving person. When I was told thank you, I relied “just pay it forward”. Hopefully, the recipient of my special attention will do something for someone else. I love the way I feel after doing something nice for someone else. It really lifts my spirit. I encourage all of you to go out and do a “random act of kindness”. You wont regret it!
