Everyone's tweeting about the amazing runners in the London Marathon today, I have to say I have such admiration for the dedication and effort it takes to be involved, its amazing how many people will "Pay forward" their love and energy to raise so much for charity.
I also noticed through a fellow Twitter friend that this coming Thursday 29th April sees annual "Pay it forward day" http://payitforwardday.com/
If you've never come across the concept, take a moment to play the you tube video above, taken from the film of the same name (Pay it forwards)
Another Tweet talked about a group forming after someone had read the book "The Go-giver"... which takes the old addage of the business "Go-getter" and turns it on it's head, suggesting that in business you need to become a "Go-giver" http://www.thegogiver.com/ something I do strongly believe myself.
All this along with the suggestion from @businessgp on twitter, to blog about "How people do their bit for good causes" ( he himself does amazing work for www.campequality.org.uk ) made me type today's blog! ( Thanks Marc!)
So the topic for today is clear......" Will you do something amazing today?"
Some of you may recall in an old newsletter, I once wrote about "Causing a ripple" It's amazing just how one small act of kindesss, acting with a servants heart can lead to miraculous effects on your loved ones, your community, your country and even the World.
If everyone did just one small thing, imagine what the effect might be?
Take the "Pay it forward" equation....... pay forward 3 good deeds to 3 people, without expectation of return, in turn they pay forward 3 good deeds to 3 people, on and on it goes.... (Yes, do the maths )...very soon before you know it, the act of paying it forwards has grown into a massive wave from the smallest ripple ....
Why not start right now?
Creating that ripple right now YOU could very quickly encompass the whole World! How's that for Global expansion?
Exciting prospect?
It could be the smallest thing that YOU pay forward RIGHT NOW,TODAY a smile and a hug , your time, your advice, a gift..... that turns into something huge! And what a priceless gift to give to those that really need it!
And you know what?
When YOU "pay it forwards" you have to be in a place of abundance, for in order to give it away YOU have to have it in the first place!
Think about that for a moment......... YOU have to have it, in order to give it away!
So the act of giving reminds us how very blessed and abundant we are!
Its amazing what a small act of kindness can achieve, in giving something amazing occurs, not only do we make a difference to another.......we recieve!
“For it is in giving that we receive.” St. Francis of Assisi
So today, I urge you to do something amazing, act with a servants heart, pay it forwards, bless another with a random act of kindess...... start a ripple.....
Let me know what happens!
Until next time,
Make evey moment count!
