$.37

So I had this idea I have been thinking about for a LONG time! Every day I would find another reason to make my idea work. One Sunday while watching a show about Teen Pregancy, I thought now is the time. I do have a job but I want to be a leader and a Succesfull Business Woman, ONE DAY!



I organized my thoughts and pitched the idea to three of my Best GF's! They loved it! I also pitched the idea to mother who is not afraid to give me her opinion and she loved it! Confidence booster at its MAX!



A few days went by and communication between my three GF's was more then ever! Sharing and brain storming ideas. I can't even focus on anything because my brain is on speed right now! Rapid firing ideas and thoughts about this Biz. So then that little bugger Miss Negative starts to travel through me mind. Asking Questions as usuall! Who are you and how are you going to change people through this little thought you had one day. This will never work. You will Fail! So feeling a little upset and it has been raining all week which makes it hard to stay motivated, I turned the radio on in my car distracted my mind for a bit away from the biz and Miss Negative. I stopped at the Farm Store or Royal Farm, whatever, to get some gas. I walked inside to find a huge line in front of me. An elderly lady in front of me need $.37 cents in which she obviously couldn't find in her purse. So being the person I try to be, I gave her the change she needed. Whats $.37, usually that would end up on the floor of my car or in the bottom of me purse.



So the woman turned to me and looked at me like I had seven heads. Overly, Thanking me and so gracious of my $.37. Such a simple thing that changed some one. WOW! It was as if the angels came down from Heaven and kicked Miss Negative's but Jackie Chan style. I felt this overwhelmingly warmth and this huge grin slowly appeared across me face.



So I pay for my things, the cashier thanked me too, and walked out, which felt like a different country outside. The rain had stopped and the sun started to appear. I was feeling great. My drive back to work was a great! One brainstorming more ideas, Two I felt like I could accomplish anything including this great "idea" and a final phone call to a partner/gf with some new ideas and our next step.



Thought: It amazes me how a simple act of kindness that helping some one in the smallest way makes such a huge difference in your thoughts, emotions and over all attitude. Which is the basis to this "idea" I have been thinking about. That one little thing made me feel that good and whipped the negative out of me. What if it was on a much larger scale and with the help of others? Think of how people overall would be? So even if this "idea" doesn't turn into a multi-million dollar biz. I will know that my actions and with the help of my best gf's we have made a difference in some one some how in some way. PRICELESS....
