Paying it Forward - A Great Example

I found this video over at the See Beautiful blog. It's a great example, produced by the Life Vest Inside organization, that shows how one act of kindness can touch many lives.




As I have said before, sharing your knowledge and wisdom with others by writing a book is another way to pay it forward. There is no telling how many people will have their lives improved from reading your book.

Even if you don't have a clear idea for a book, you can begin moving in the right direction  just by getting up an hour early every morning and writing three pages (with notebook and pen) of "morning pages." Just write what ever comes to mind; use your stream of consciousness.

At first, it may not seem like anything is happening, but soon you’ll find you are coming up with some insightful ideas for your book. It’s a way to connect to your creative consciousness.

The important thing is to keep writing. That's the only path to becoming an author.
