Pay It Forward

We All Have Problems
When you are down and need help, who do you turn to for assistance? Do you have anyone? Who do you turn to for advice? Who is your mentor? Who do you rely on for assistance?

The Concept
The idea here is that if you receive a favor or help from any individual, you should do the same for another - not neccessarily to the one who gave you the favor. It's not about pay-back. It's about giving. The favor can be your volunteering your service, your sincere attention just to take time to listen to them, money (if you have it), your friendship, a special skill you have, your gas, or your time, anything that will help remedy that person's problem. You give freely to help someone else without any other motivation - except to give them something that they need. A small favor with no strings attached. That's it!

This concept is called "Paying it forward." A simple, yet effective means to promote good will directed towards another person. You don't even have to know the other person. The idea is to help them in their time of need - unselfishly, expecting nothing in return. The only thing that you ask the person you give assistance to is that they in-turn, "Pay It Forward" to someone else.

Start The Ball Rolling
Choose three people in your life and "Pay It Forward" to them. Explain the ONLY rule. Once they agree, perform the favor. Ask for nothing more from them. Just do it and see how it plays-out.

Prediction
Your life will improve in a way that cannot be measured in terms of stock IPOs! You may discover something about yourself that you didn't know before. It's easy to give and it doesn't hurt. You will feel better about yourself knowing that you have made a positive impact on someone who needed your favor.

Your family and friends will notice the difference in you. It will be a positive change, pass it along.
