Pay it Forward
Is it possible for one idea to change the world?
Sometimes The Simplest Idea Can Make The Biggest Difference….From the moment you take that first selfless step to help another person you set off a chain reaction that days, months and years later continues to impact lives...
When someone does you a big favour, don't pay it back; PAY IT FORWARD
You've heard it said 'Pay it forward', a good thing for all to do
Treat others as you'd have them treat, yourself as well it's true
So many times I've heard it said, 'Why should I do for them'
'They've never done for me so far, I'm happy as I am'
The one thing they're forgetting, I'm here to say it's so
Is that the one who helps us, you may not ever know
When you reach out to others, they in turn reach out again
Giving of themselves sometimes, to any fellow man
What goes around, will come around, the nature of God's plan
Whether good or evil, all will come to you again
It might not be tomorrow or next week or even year
But all will come back to you, this is very clear
The gift of self costs nothing, except of thought and time
Don't think of just receiving, think of giving too in kind
There is another saying, you've heard it too I'm sure
'
It's better to give than to receive' a gift that will endure
You see that all will ever last, is kindness of the heart
It grows and never perishes, it lives to then impart
Remember as you go along, living as you do
Take the time to lend a hand, it will come back to you.
People with the best intentions sometimes get overwhelmed by the idea of charity. They think they need a great deal of time or money or courage to make a real difference in the world. But you don't have to be a philanthropist to help. All it takes is a simple act of kindness; it could be a smile to brighten someone’s day!
One good deed might not seem like much, but if everyone did something good for someone else, then the cycle of generosity and kindness can spark us to become better people.
Why Pay it Forward?
 To encourage all of us to embrace the incredible power of giving.
To show each other that we care and that there is love, hope and magic all around us.
To know that we may be only one person in this world, but to one person, at one time, we are the world.
So how does it work?
Do between one and three good deeds for others without asking for anything in return.
Instead of returning the favour; ask the recipient to pay it forward to someone else in need.
Goodness Cards can be handed to each recipient explaining what Pay it Forward is all about.
We can change the world - one good deed at a time.
