"Pay it Forward"
The "Pay it Forward" movement swept the country years ago when the movie by the same name hit theaters with a touching storyline. If you haven't seen this movie, it is definitely in the category of "Must see" to change your life! We all love to pay it forward, but the truth in helping others is when it is a completely selfless act by us. What I mean by this is not expecting anything in return, just to simply touch others lives. Do you stop and think of how you can make someone's day by a smile or acknowledgment of them? Do you help others with gifts or money simply by giving and not receiving when someone is in need? No matter where you are in life you have many options to "Pay it forward". In the law of attraction sense, you must feel abundant today and give this energy more power by finding a way to do so. This can create a strong energy flow that never ends! Even in this tough economy we can all find a way to help someone else out and make their day. Put on that creative hat and start brainstorming daily what you can do for someone you know or a stranger to you. ** What can you do to make someones' day? ** Grocery gift card to a struggling single mother. $20 could help her more than you realize. ** The elderly in the nursing home. What can you do to change their 'week' or month. A visit is monumental. ** Can you pay for the soda and snack for the person behind you at the local quick stop. [You never know whose life you are touching} ** Can you babysit for a single parent to give them 2 hours to themselves. ** Make a fun gift basket for someone you know for the kitchen, or bathroom. {I LOVE making these and it can be done very inexpensively} **Keep going! Remember, these are gifts without strings attached. Even if you do something for a friend, you cannot make a mental 'score' in your head of owing or hold it over their heads either. I have always been a person who has a tough time allowing someone to help me, since I have had experience with this 'score keeping' and friendships in the past. When you help or give....it is a gift...no strings. I will leave you there today and go out and make someone else's day! Hope & Peace, Merna
