Paying It Forward

I am a strong believer in karma and doing onto others as you would do to yourself, so this week when I felt like the universe was finally picking up on my attempts of being a good person I couldn't help but smile. At times doing the right thing is super tough, with practice I think it gets easier, but it is an everyday challenge of being good. I felt rewarded for my good deeds this week when I was on my way home from HEB arms full of groceries. I was just walking outside of the parking lot on the journey and long walk to my hall when a very kind lady told me that she had a few minutes to spare and she would be happy to give me a ride back to campus. I was so relieved. She was so kind and full of small talk to make me feel at ease during the short car commute. That simple act of kindness made my day. I hope that within the next few days I can make a strangers day by doing a simple, random act of kindness for them. We should all try to pay it forward anyway we can when the opportunity strikes us. We never know what it could mean to that other person, and plus it also makes you feel great once you complete the act.

  1. GREAT!!! I do not believe in Karma by the way, but I do believe that helping others out of the kindness of your heart is the right thing to do and if more people were like that lady or yourself this world would be better all around. Happy for you.
