Yesterday was a great day. Beautiful weather, outdoor walks, time with family, and a football game. Well, the football game could have been better. Fun fact: I’ve never seen the Minnesota Vikings win at U.S. Bank Stadium. I’m beginning to think I might be part of the problem. Still, there was plenty to be grateful for.
Today’s challenge is simple. Pay it forward. Do something kind for someone else, preferably anonymously. It doesn’t have to involve money. Help a neighbor, do something nice for a coworker, leave an encouraging note, or find some other way to make someone’s day a little better. There are opportunities all around us if we pay attention. The idea is to do something thoughtful without expecting anything in return. No recognition, no thank you, and certainly no need to post about it on social media. Sometimes the best acts of kindness are the ones nobody knows about. And if someone really wants to pay it forward, perhaps they could find the Vikings a good quarterback.
Tonight, take a few minutes to journal about what you did and how it made you feel. Did you get to see the person’s reaction? Did it matter whether they knew who was responsible? Sometimes doing something good for someone else is its own reward.
