Pay it forward

As the new year is upon us, I've spent most of the day thinking about what we give back. The pay it forward process. Mostly I've thought about those that forget to pay it forward.
I've spent alot of time giving and helping, I've often wondered why those I have helped haven't felt the need to pay it forward. They've taken and taken and improved their life and yet in the end when they were doing ok, I haven't seen them pay it forward. I haven't witnessed or known of them unselfishly giving back to someone else. As giving as I've been, it makes me want to take back my give to them! I dont give of myself or my hard earned money for anything back, but when I know that you are in a position to help someone else that is in need and instead of unselfishly helping, you are asking something ....well that just kinda irks me. Someone else has helped you and asked nothing in return, did you really already forget that? Someone else that helped you in some way had to do without or compromise to help you in that position and they did it without question and never made you feel like you owed anything, I expect that when the next person comes along that also needs that help, why are you taking from them and not giving back what you were glad was offered to you?
You may view your new found financial place as a blessing but I can promise you that if you do not give back what was unselfishly handed to you, you will soon see your position quickly decline and rightly so. Life isn't about taking and taking and never giving back, it's about doing what's right and when you are in the position to help someone that's trying to help themselves and you refuse to because that almightly dollar in your bank account has suddenly become your priority, well then the next time you need that help (and I promise you will) You'll suddenly find yourself in that same position that the person who needs your help now is the person you are Not helping.
I will continue to help those that need help, but because I haven't seen anyone that I have helped give back, you will absolutely not be on my list, the next time you need help. If you can't pay to someone else what I have unselfishly given you, then please don't ask for my help again.
I didn't make many new year resolution other than being in the will of God and having a better heart....And I know that giving is in the will of God, but I also believe that God would like me to expect that you give back what we gave you. So I'm adding this to my list of NY resolutions.
Give back! Someone once helped you in your need, someone gave their all. Where's your All? Shame on you!
