hello paying it forward.

we live in a cruel world. full of mean people. full of cheaters. liars. fakes. and backstabbers. 

but with that being said, we also live in a world full of kind-hearted people. people seeking good for others. and i think we need to focus on the good people in our lives and in the world. and focus on making ourselves better people. 

lately i've been trying harder to focus my efforts on other people. doing nice things for others. ever heard of the term pay it forward? it's when others do something kind for you, you in turn do something kind to someone else. i've had a lot of kind and wonderful people reach out to me lately, so i realized that it's about time that i do something kind for someone else. i've made a goal to do something nice for someone else every day. whether a stranger or a friend. no matter little or large the deed, something. 

there's no need for me to say what i've done or plan to do, after all, they're supposed to be anonymous deeds right? but, i will share with you one of them. today i grabbed some wendy's for dinner. while going through the drive through, i decided to pay for the stranger behind me in the drive-through line. when i told the cashier that i wanted to do so, he gave me the strangest look haha. "umm..sure?" i laughed and handed him the money. he replied by laughing in a bit of surprise and said, "do you know him?" "nope" "you're just doing it to be nice?" i smiled again, "just paying it forward" he smiled and replied, "wow, you're really nice" i laughed and as i drove off i took a quick glimpse in my rear view mirror to see the surprised look on the man's face in the car behind me. i hope he pays it forward now. i know paying for someones meal at a fast food restaurant isn't the biggest thing in the world, but it's better than nothing. and hopefully it's big enough that it made someone else smile. who knows what that stranger is dealing with in their life today.

so if you're reading this right now, pay it forward. do something nice for someone else.
it doesn't take that long to do something nice.
and it could make all the difference for someone else.
