Paying it forward

Everbody probably knows what this phase means - but for those who don't I will do a brief explanation. Paying it forward it when someone does you a favor and you in return due a favor for someone else. This is not a gesture that is done in fanfare - but rather one that is done silently without the expectation of acknowledgement or reward. I had a course in this miracle today. Many years when I first got clean my initial therapist helped me through the rough patches. She helped me find a place to live, clothes on my back and food for my belly. I had the chance to due something similar today - and boy what a feeling! It felt so great to be able to due something - no matter how small it was. I made a difference and in return I changed the course of someone else's world. This person was not expecting anything from me - it was a gesture that was done at the spur of the moment with no thought on my part. I did it because it felt right and by the persons expression I know it was the right thing to do. I could tell by the gleam in her eye that I had done something that could never and would never need to be repayed. I told her about the concept of paying it forward and that someday someone would be in a similar situation as herself and it would be her turn to pay it forward. She would know when that time was and how to act. Paying it forward does not require thought - it requires heart. So my challenge for you today is to think about some gesture that you recieved that changed your world that you can pay forward to someone in need today. I make you a bet you will feel like a whole new person when you do this - just trust me.
