Successful community by paying it forward

I trust you have either seen or at least heard of the movie “Pay It Forward”, if you haven’t I strongly recommend you see it. For me, it was one of the most powerful movies I’ve seen in a while. It truly touched my heart and reminded me of how closely we are inter-related. Therefore, I decided I wanted to do something different this time. Most of the time I encourage you to make a difference by making a donation to a charity, or volunteering your time serving community. However, this time I wanted to encourage you….and maybe even challenge you to do the following exercise for the next 60 days. Should you choose to take on this challenge, I would like to see what shows up in your life during these next 60 days.

Exercise:

Choose one thing that you wish to do out of love and kindness to make a difference in someone else’s life. It can be a very simple thing, such as paying for the coffee of the person behind you in line without them knowing. It could be secretly giving a flower with a kind note to a stranger. It could be telling someone else something you like about them. ANYTHING! The task is to see how long you can keep this exercise going. If you falter, no worries, just start again. Notice what changes in your life during these next 60 days, and please share your experience with us in the comments section below.

Truly, it can be anything. It can be as simple as a hug. Take a look at what this person was able to do by simply giving hugs.
