"I guess it's hard for people who are so used to things the way they are - even if they're bad - to change. 'Cause they kind of give up. And when they do, everybody kind of loses." Trevor McKenney
Dreaming big and starting small. That's the only way to give back to a world that has given so much to us. Through appreciation and the sincere courage of your heart, we all can make a difference one step at a time.
The concept of "Pay It Forward" is from the movie starring Kevin Spacey, Helen Hunt and Haley Joel Osment. It talks about the doing 3 good deeds for people so in turn they do 3 good deeds for others and the cycle begins. If in each our lifetime, we were able to encourage, empower, and truly help those around us, they have the strength to then in turn help others. Those who have been touch will always have a sense of gratitude and appreciation. With that, they emanate this lightness and happiness that can be felt by all other around them.
Treat others as you want to be treated. Even facing the adversity of "difficult" people, remind yourself that sometimes people need more love and understanding. There is a reason for everything and at times, people just need to know someone cares. Face adversity and conflicts with grace and peace of mind. In time, things will smooth itself out, one way or another.
The heart of appreciation is to really accept people for who they are and understand we drives them. For those you care about, see the "real" person with a pure mind and heart. To appreciate others, you have to appreciate yourself. For others to love you, you must also love yourself. Understand you must have one in order to have the other.
Live with peace of mind always so you too can shine your light for others and help pay it forward.
