Pay it forward.

Pay it Forward. First of all. We know we can’t see a show of hands of the people who have watched that life changing movie. But for those of you that did watch it. You will know what it means to Pay if forward. Until recently we did not even know that Crowdfunding existed, or that there was actual sites where people could go, state their cause and ask for money. And note we are saying ask. Some may think that those people are begging. But that is not what it is. They are reaching out to you the reader to assist them with their goals and dreams. We have read some of those campaigns and we was genuinely blown away. There are some people who really need help. And if they are as proud as only people could be they are not believers in charity. One campaign we read was about a family that was struggling. Hardworking and honest as far as I could tell. They were working for their money but they have a dream that with people’s help they will be able to open their own business and so guarantee not only for them, or their son, but also for others a future. Call it job creation if you will. Unfortunately we personally can’t donate all the money they need, but did click that button and donated the money we could spare out of our savings account. So now I am paying it forward. There were times that we did not know where our next meal will come from or how we will be able to pay all our commitments at the end of the month. But you know what. There were people who out of the blue just gave us money. A few bucks here and there, and so we were able to buy food and pay the bills. Yeah, you will find your chanser’s anywhere. If it is the beggar at the local Supermarket that sells you a sad story about food and what not and then either throws away the food you bought him or fights with you because it was money that was the object of their desire. Or when you do give money, they turn around and walk straight to the Bottle store. But know what, you paid it forward. We are firm believers that every person is responsible for their own action and decisions. Your action was to give money to someone whom you believed to be in trouble. You paid it forward. You will neither get the reward or the consequences of that persons actions and deeds, only yours. You paid it forward, and it always pays double back to you. So what are we actually saying here. We cant make you donate money to charities or churches. We cant make you go on sites like IndieGogo and donate money. We simply can’t make you do anything. The only thing we can do is guide you and and tell you about campaigns that needs help. Sure everybody has a sad story and we all work hard for our money. But ask yourself this. What if it was you? What if you needed someone just to say yeah why not, here is ten bucks. Won’t that make a difference in your life? What if it was your family that was struggling to find a reason to work even harder and succeed. What if you knew someone and you could reach out and help them? Would that be a reason to pay it forward? I believe that you are a reasonable person who will look at the campaigns with different eyes and make that click. Until next time.... Remember to pay it forward.
