PAY IT FORWARD DAY

-


Every day we find ourselves presented with opportunities to pass forward some good that has been done in our lives. Whether this is paying for the purchase of the people in the queue behind us in the mall, dropping some naira in the collection jar of a homeless person, or just complimenting someone on their choice of wardrobe, it only takes a moment and a consideration of kindness to brighten someone’s day. Pay it Forward Day is a reminder that we should be engaging in this behavior every day, and that one day someone may pay it forward to us when we most desperately need it.

'Pay It Forward Day' takes place all over the world. The aim of the day is to make a difference by doing a kind act. The hope is that this will have a ripple effect, with kindness being felt across the globe. We often think that small acts don’t make much of a difference, but they do! A small act can make a massive difference to another person. Plus, all of these small acts build up, having a huge effect. This is why Pay It Forward Day is so important!

How to celebrate Pay It Forward Day

Use Pay It Forward Day to start a habit of putting good things out into the world in the form of service to others. Whether you’re making a donation to a good cause or helping someone who just got lots of loads to carry, be sure to tell them to pay it forward as way of recompense. Every day people all over the world work hard to keep this concept going, and Pay It Forward Day is as good as any to get your start!

There are lots of different ways that you can spread the love and kindness on this day. If you have the money to spare, buying a small gift for someone can be a lovely gesture. It is always nice to receive something, especially when it is for no reason apart from the fact that someone wants to let you know you are appreciated. Another way to display kindness is by paying people complements and sending messages to your family and friends to let them know how much you appreciate them. You may also decide to volunteer your time to help a charity or organization that you are passionate about. The options are endless. It is not about how grand your gesture is or how much money you spend. Every act of kindness is appreciated and goes a long way.

Finally, it is also good to read up on the acts of kindness that other people have done. You will find that more and more of these stories appear on Pay It Forward Day, so you should be able to find plenty of accounts on social media and in the news which can act as a source of motivation to you.

IT'S PAY IT FORWARD DAY!
