Pay it forward!

Just some food for thought!  The expression "pay it forward" is used to describe the concept of third party beneficiary in which a creditor who offers the debtor the option of "paying" the debt forward by lending it to a third person instead of paying it back to the original creditor. Debt and payments can be monetary or by good deeds. In sociology, this concept is called "generalized reciprocity" or "generalized exchange". A related transaction, which starts with a gift instead of a loan, is alternative giving (Wikipedia.com).

The bottom line is that giving a gift and expecting nothing in return has rewards like none other! Imagine the changes we could make in our lives with just one act of kindness.  So many people are talking about it but how many are actually doing it?  We get so wrapped up in the day to day of our own lives that no one else seems to matter.  Think of the things just in your local area that you could get involved in to help others.  You probably don't even have to leave your house!
