You may have heard this expression before, or seen the movie of the same title. Pay it Forward is the idea that you do something helpful/wonderful/deserving for a stranger. You have created good from nothing, and for no specific reason. If everyone "pays it forward" then we will all make the world a better place.
I think that when anyone has been helped through a difficult time and had to rely on friends and strangers, they come out of the bad time with a need to return the favor.
I haven't quite figured out what my pay it forward act will be. I have volunteered so many different ways, and have enjoyed being a volunteer, I will have to find something specific and special to pay back what I have received. I hope that a unique opportunity presents itself, but I will also be on the lookout for a situation that can fulfill this need I have to give back.
