I love the concept of ‘Paying it Forward’ don’t you? If you’ve ever seen the movie, you’ll know what I’m talking about.
The story involves a social studies teacher (Kevin Spacey) who gives his junior high school class a challenge – to think of an idea that might change the world for the better, then put it into action. One young student (Haley Joe Osment) creates a plan for “paying forward” favors, which, unknown to him, blossoms into a profound national phenomenon.
“Be the change you want to see in the world.” Ghandi
Just one act has potential to create a ripple, a wave, a Tsunami…so how do we do it? In the words of Morgan Freeman…
This week I plan to:
- give a genuine compliment a day
- pay for the coffee of the next dude in the queue
- bake a friend a cake
- spend time with another in need
- treat the team to morning tea
Would love to hear your ideas!
