Pay It Forward

  Has anyone ever done something for you and you knew that you didn't deserve? If so, think about how you felt. You were probably thinking, "Why are they doing this, I don't even know them" or "I don't deserve this." The thing is, no matter what happens, you do or did deserve it! These are due to simple or big acts of kindness, or simply "Paying It Forward." Paying it forward can be as simple as holding the door open for someone! I ask that you pay it forward this week. Imagine starting a week off by doing good! I know, you might think, "Nobody will care!" or "People won't even acknowledge it." And to that I say, people do care. They may not show it, they might even be rude about it, yet you don't know what that person is going through. Everyone has a bad day! When you pay it forward, you cause the ripple effect. Imagine dropping a penny in a bucket of water; that one penny causes the water to spread out and ripple. You are that penny. You may not think that you aren't doing much by simply holding the door, but maybe, just maybe that will cause that person to pay it forward to someone else and so on. Paying forward is not doing simple things for people, it can be big things too. These include: paying for the person behind you when you're in the toll road, paying for the person next in line at McDonald's per say, or even giving $38 a month to save a child's life! Think about it, that money would be gone in an instant anyways, so why not use it for something that not only benefits you, but others as well? Will you need that large fries or another pair of shoes? Yet , those are the big things you can do by paying it forward! Try passing it forward by starting small, even a simple smile can make a huge difference! Be the change the world thirsts for! Pay it forward :)

  1. You are so right! Many times in my life there has been a small act of kindness that has made my day. The 'little things' are not always so little.
