Cheerfully giving!!

So as I was watching the 700 Club this morning.  Not my usual thing to watch while eating breakfast but it was on and I decided to see what it was about.  It was a couple that was down on their luck and bout to loose their house and on food stamps.  They turned to god and asked what to do.  They decided that to donate a dollar to 10 churches in the area and when they did they found out that they had a death in the family and was given an inheritance of $10,000.  They then gave $100 dollars to the churches and then jobs came to them and they were making $700,000  that year.  All for just believing that when you pay it forward you will receive more.


This is a great belief.  Paying forward isn't just about sending money to a church.  What about helping a friend on your day off from work, volunteering your time to a homeless shelter or habitat for humanity, giving your advice and sharing what works for you in your business.  I do this daily with Beachbody.  Paying it forward is what Beachbody is all about. 

The feeling of having someone I know either from facebook or the grocery store or at a child's game tell me how happy they are that I shared my success with them.  They are so happy to have lost the weight and to make some money.   Walmart wouldn't help Target with their customers would they.  I mean think about it.  If i went to walmart and said can you tell me if Target has what I need they would say sure they do.  Just go to Target and get it their.  We all know that really isn't how it works.

But in Beachbody that exactly how it works.  I have talked to a new friend (Roxanne) daily.  No she isn't a customer of mine and no she isn't one of my coaches.  Actually she was a coach before and decided to quit.  Her upline kept trying to get her to become a coach again.  We became friends on facebook and after sharing my story and my BELIEF in her she signed up as a coach again for the other team and is loving it.  This didn't help me with my business but more importantly it helped her.   Having a friend, even thou we have never met, has helped her with her belief in herself and her finances.  She I know will pay it forward.  I am so proud of her.  This is exactly what PAYING IT FORWARD IS ABOUT!!! 

So I challenge you to pay it forward today.  In what ever way you find happiness and fulfillment.
