I've been so successful with my list (*four out of five) that I will make another one for this week! I have been so successful that my family is now finding it weird that i have forgone all my usual protests. (oha!) I will even be so bold to predict that they are now missing the old me. (haha). I've learned that being agreeable requires so little effort and takes away all the stress caused by a point that really won't matter five minutes after the argument. So friends, give it a try!
1. I will give out compliments freely.
2. I will be at the present moment at all times.
3. I will let go of past hurts.
4. I will only eat meat once a day. (explanation to follow)
5. I will start wearing clothes which I have ignored for a year.
*I have failed to pay it forward, as I forgot how this works. Please someone enlighten me!
The expression "pay it forward" is used to describe the concept of asking that a good turn be repaid by having it done to others instead. More specifically, the creditor offers the debtor the option of "paying" the debt forward by lending it to a third person instead of paying it back to the original creditor. Debt and payments can be monetary or by good deeds. In sociology, this concept is called "generalized reciprocity" or "generalized exchange". A related transaction, which starts with a gift instead of a loan, is alternative giving.

Dude, ang hirap naman. I was wondering nga last week if it should always involve actual money. I still dont know how to do it!
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA.
ReplyDeletePay it forward... as i understand it means you pass on an act of kindness and ask them to pay it forward... ergo-- if someone does something nice to you or for you, you do something nice to someone else... if you go by the movie, they actually ask people to "pay it (acts of kindness) forward"
ooooh, so i have to tell them. sheesh mahirap nga, imagine explaining it to everyone, so not me! dapat random act of kindness nalang pala nilagay ko.
