A Movement That Could Change the Course of History...

A Better World...the time for change is NOW.

"We are the World, We are the Children." 
~Michael Jackson

One man with a vision and the courage to be
heard is about to make a difference in the 
lives of children, innocent victims of a power
hungry psycho maniac.

The film you are about to watch is the most
viral video ever to appear on YouTube.com.
It has been viewed by 78 million people so far
and counting; and for good reason. It speaks to
our hearts and it moves us.

Will it move you? 

Will you Pay It Forward? 

I truly hope you will tell everyone you know 
and that they will do the same. Let's all Pay 
It Forward.

Pay It Forward 2009
Brought to you by: More Great News

A movie based on the best selling novel by Catherine
Ryan Hyde is one that tugs at our emotional heart strings.

Pay It forward is the idea of helping others, three at
a time, and suggesting they do the same. It’s a terrific idea
that seems to be gaining momentum. And that's great

news. It’s coming at a time when the world's in turmoil

and many people are insisting we need change.

I'm in total agreement. I'm ready for positive and

meaningful change. Let's all Pay it Forward in 2009!

After watching this movie, it's hard to imagine how anyone
could avoid feeling an overwhelming sense of joy.

Such unconditional acts of giving are contagious and essential
to our individual and collective well being. They arouse our
passion for living while creating a world that's Rich Beyond
Any Measure.

When we Pay it Forward we inspire others to join with us in

an authentic expression of gratitude. That expression is the

starting point for change and joyous living.

Without joy, our lives are often empty and meaningless. A
simple act of generosity or gratitude changes our entire
perspective, leaving everyone in a state of awe (especially

those who receive the gift and who can't believe the
outpouring of love).

Everyone benefits from such an exchange and the world begins

to change (in ways we can't begin to imagine). The experience is
rich beyond any measure.

Paying it Forward has made a big difference in my life and is
beginning to make a real difference in the way many people view
the world.

However, like a wave, it takes time for the ripple to fully catch

on. Little by little, we are starting to see the effects of a world

awakening to this powerful idea.

The Pay It Forward movement is much more than a movie.

It's your movie and you are the producer and the star. It's your

creation and a model for how you "show up" in life.

It's an opportunity for you (and me) to really get excited about

the possibilities of creating a BETTER WORLD.

When I share my enthusiasm with three other people and arouse
their passion for doing the same, I've made a worthwhile
contribution. When I live and breathe it, my life takes on new
meaning.

My life is instantly enriched and I experience something
no amount of money can buy.

I'm inspired and filled with the joy that comes from helping

someone else. The excitement of doing this with others creates

synergy as it expands the flow of positive energy returning

into my world.

What a feeling.

It’s an idea whose time has come.

It’s easy and anyone can do it—even those who suffer hardships
and appear more challenged than the rest of us. Think you've
got problems? We all do, but I wonder how many of us are truly

aware of just how fortunate we are.

Would you like a dose of inspiration? Check this out!

I think this is particularly true in our educational system where

children are taught the fundamental value of such behavior.

If you looked at the above clip, you'll "know" exactly what I mean.

It's the kind of message our kids need. Look at the faces on these

kids. It's POWERFUL STUFF! Just what the doctor ordered!

In a world crying out for change, more and more people are
recognizing the long term benefits of getting on board with
a proven idea that works and pays long term dividends.

A Real Economic Stimulus Plan

From ordinary people to the rich and famous, this movement is
getting a boost as it becomes part of the culture of popular shows
like Oprah, American Idol and Extreme Home Makeover. Even
retailers like Target are setting an example by donating millions
of dollars to advance the idea of Paying It Forward. Lets all
get on board in 2009.

Lets add our individual acts of kindness as we strive to
create A Better World.

Can you imagine what would happen if more companies got
behind this movement? Wow! That's the kind of economic
stimulus plan I'd like to see.

Instead of executive compensation plans, banks ought to
consider doing something like this. The result might be a
bonus far greater than the hundreds of millions they kept for

themselves...and they might have something else to put in the

bank...

Something that builds lasting value.

Something far more valuable than a stash
of paper in a vault.

Well, changes are a coming. The world is crying to
be heard. We must begin recognizing that we are all
one people and it's one world that we all share.

Sooner or later, we'll all have to wake up to that
reality. We all have different ideas and opinions.
That's life and we must learn to respect each other
while celebrating our differences.

We've got to put an end to the madness, the wars
and hostility. We've got to find "common ground"
and create a new wave of understanding or we will
perish.

The swine flu pandemic is just one example of
"why" we must come together. It's time for
cooperation above competition.

With a new President in office, I think we're going to see
more of this kind of change. A charismatic leader with
the ability to inspire others will, no doubt, accelerate this
process.

I'm ready for it and I think others are too. And
that's what it's going to take...a united effort that
puts the spotlight on solutions...instead of business

as usual.

Pay It Forward is aligned with the larger universal Law
of Attraction. As people begin to see how small changes can
impact everyone around them, they will instinctively want to do
more.

The resulting joy arising from this simple act of giving
can unify a family, a community, a nation and the world.

When we concentrate our efforts on something positive and
rewarding, we bring about long term benefits that are difficult, if

not impossible, to quantify.

What starts with a simple thought is magnified and expanded.

Raw enthusiasm spills into other areas of life--and the result?

Lets just say that it's far too valuable to calculate; but enough to
create a worthwhile legacy for our children.

Isn't that the kind of world we all want to live in?

I hope so!
