Pay it Forward

I do not pretend to give such a Sum; I only lend it to you. When you [...] meet with another honest Man in similar Distress, you must pay me by lending this Sum to him; enjoining him to discharge the Debt by a like operation, when he shall be able, and shall meet with another opportunity. I hope it may thus go thro’ many hands, before it meets with a Knave that will stop its Progress. This is a trick of mine for doing a deal of good with a little money.

Benjamin Franklin

I was thinking about this term while pretending to make a plan to help people in my country (Guatemala).. “Pay it Forward” I had a mission trip in a location where people have serious problems (health, education, etc), We were around 12 people trying to pay forward or trying to make like a good deal for all of this that really need a hand… A hand to survive, a hand to follow dreams… The question is why we have to make this? I got a simple answer… “There are no excuses.. Everyone can love..” if we work together, will have global impact. Practically it’ll depend entirely on all of us choosing to act..

It doesn’t matter where you live, or what you have.. Opportunity is there for anybody willing to open their eyes to it.. But ultimately this is about YOU taking up the challenge to live your life for OTHERS….

The expression “pay it forward” is used to describe the concept of third party beneficiary in which a creditor who 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. (from Wikipedia)

This is where YOU get involved..

Memories! or can I call it unforgettable experiences!! I never imaged on my 14 years old that i was gonna be who I am right now! Always dreaming with soccer, hanging out, and swimming. But just one thing I knew, that I had a purpose. Purpose to be in this planet, in this world. Ohh Escuintla, how many memories of that small town that saw me growing up, the warmer weather, the small streets, The city of cocos and nice people. 10 years ago, 14 years old, 24 years old now. But WHY 14 years old, I wanna make like a travel 10 years ago, and let’s talk about decisions, I was talking once with an old friend about Destiny, she started to ask if Destiny exists or not, and i answer her that You make your destiny, but it’s gonna depends about your Decisions, so she said: Destiny is about your decision, so Decision create your destiny and that means that there is no Destiny because you can change it. I’m still having a dilemma about that topic.

So.. think about it, Have my decisions made my person? or it was the Destiny? Do we have a Destiny? We have and incredible Destiny, but that’s depends if we take the risk or not.
