Most of you have probably seen the popular movie "Pay It Forward" back in 2000. For those of you who have not seen the movie, the plot involves Trevor, a young middle school student who is given a task by his Social Studies teacher: Think of something you can do to change the world and put it into action.
This assignment sparks a quest for Trevor to begin doing good things for others...FIRST. Do something nice for three people and tell them you are paying the kindness FORWARD. Then challenge them to also" Pay It Forward" with three people. This one change in behavior began a mental shift in how Trevor looked and responded to situations with people around him. His display of kindness created a ripple effect and began amazing chain of Pay It Forward events within the lives of the people he helped and within his community.

So what does this have to do with life here in the WA Community? Well, each of us is here on a quest to improve our lives financially. We each can strive to support others in lifting them up with encouragement, sharing our failures and our wins as we grow our business and our community. I myself have experienced a number of Pay It Forward moments that were freely given to me . This display of genuine concern and support was a huge deciding factor for me...I joined WA!

As a new Premium Member, I want to encourage each person reading this to Pay It Forward not only in the WA Community but in your own life. YOU do make a difference. You are important to someone who NEEDS what you have to offer them. Don't be shy to help someone here or where ever you are.

Today, is a new day...you and I can change the world...one kindness at a time. Let's Pay It Forward together!
