Pay It Forward

I was so thrilled the other day for what the two ladies at the salon did for me (and are still going to do for me next Tuesday!) that when I had the chance to do something for someone else today and give them the same warm feeling, I jumped at the chance to pay it forward.

I won't mention who it was for or what I even had the opportunity to be a part of (It wasn't just me! It was a group of friends.) because I feel like naming it would mean doing it for all the wrong reasons.

In fact, my only purpose of even bringing it up here is to encourage anyone who MAY drop by this blog to do the same. The second you start thinking of others before yourself - putting the needs of someone else ahead of your own selfish agenda, happiness or world - your world starts to become a better place. It's-just-like-that. Trust me. Especially if it's a kid who needs you. People call them resilient all the time, but fact is...they shouldn't be expected to be that resilient or have such low expectations for their life.

Don't talk-the-talk about how you show up when you are asked to help. Walk-the-walk and just help someone. If you know someone who needs help, then help them. You don't need to say, "Hey I did that for you!". In fact, don't. Just help. Put the needs of someone else ahead of yourself.
