Have you ever been sitting at a stop light or drive-thru and glanced back in your review mirror at the person sitting in the vehicle behind you to find that they look like they were on their way to having a really bad day? Did you ever wish that you could do something about it to help turn it around? Well, it happened to me this morning in a drive-thru line at a Jack-in-the-Box. I was just minding my own business when I just-so-happened to glance in my rearview mirror and spot a woman behind me who appeared to be in need of a little help from a total stranger. Well, I’m happy to report that I didn’t pass on my opportunity to get involved and do my part. So, I told the cashier, “Michelle, I’ll be paying for two meals this morning, mine and the lady behind me.” She then cracked a Big smile and said, “Ahhh… That’s so awesome.” Then I told her to tell the woman to just pay it forward when the time is right. We exchanged a few more niceties and then I sped off into the distance to maintain my anonymity. I must admit that I’m a little bit self-centered when it comes to the feeling that I get from engaging in such actions as this. I got a two-for-one today brightening the mystery-woman’s day and also I’m sure Michelle enjoyed the experience of bearing the good news. No, this is definitely not my first rodeo as it relates to this type of action and it most definitely won’t be my last. I’ve learned that being a true giver without want opens us up to receive even more than what we want in this world. Making a point to cash-in on these types of opportunities is important to me, and the act even makes my day great. So, what are you going to do the next time your number is called? Will you be mentally and physically prepared to take action within your small window of opportunity? Hmmm… No need to answer out loud, just make us proud and be different then the crowd. Don’t miss your opportunity to make someone else’s day GREAT and in the process you’re sure to find that you’re making your own day GREAT! Yep, this breadcrumb of wisdom can make your life so much more fulfilling. So enjoy as you continue to Make it GREAT! MrBreadCrumb MakeItGreatNOW
