50 Simple Ways to Pay It Forward
Kindness, like a boomerang, always returns. ~Author Unknown
I have learned from experience that when we commit an act of kindness for others, for strangers, it’s only a matter of time before that kindness comes back to us. Being kind is a gift that gives both to the giver and the receiver. Call it “what goes around comes around”. I don’t even think we need to learn or listen to or engage in all this talk of universal laws and the law of cause and effect, the law of attraction, etc.
I propose something simpler and more direct: how about we see for ourselves through practice?
So, what little, simple acts of kindness can we do to pay it forward today?
