Pay It Forward
Some food for thought.
I was up at 5:30am This morning. I opened up my laptop to pick up where I had left off before falling asleep last night.
My Twitter page was open and I saw Tony Robbins challenging everyone to help just 2 people out today. I thanked Tony and accepted his challenge.
I am all about helping others and instantly began thinking how I would go about this and went about my traffic exchange after posting a few more “Tweets.”
Around 7am I got a call from my roommate, who was at work, requesting I send a copy of the video I have from a recent space shuttle launch. . I emailed it to her promtly and went back to my business.
Shortly after, my roomate’s 4 year old grandson, who still wets the bed quite often, woke up excited about how he woke up last night, went to the “potty” and woke up dry this morning. I praised him for his accomplishment immediately. After giving this some thought I shared a story with him about frequent urination issues in a manner he could relate and commended him on his efforts once again.
I returned to my work and suddenly felt the need for a smoke and another cup of coffee. Walking into the kitchen, I noticed a small bag of aluminum can we save for a lady in our neighborhood and carried them outside and placed them on the steps where she could spot them easily.
I finished my smoke and returned to my office and looked at the time. It was 7:50am. I reflected on what Tony had challenged me to do today and made a note to start this Blog ASAP. Right then it hit me. I realized within just a few short hours I had helped not 2 but 3 people without any real effort at all. My good deeds were minute, yet still this gave me a sense of self gratitude and accomplishment and a reminder that I am not as selfish as I may think I am at times. I guess you can call that “paying it forward.”
Now, I am “paying it forward” by challenging you to help just 2 people today. Tell me how it goes by replying here and I will see that it gets posted and seen by many. Feel free to add a text link to your page in your post. Thank you for visiting Bloggers Den @ InterntBusinessControlPanel.com,
Sincerly,
