Pay it Forward
Soooo good. I love this series. I learned about how our feelings and emotions are interconnected. For instance, we can't have joy without sadness, hope without despair, peace without chaos. He had us picture a piece of paper with lines on it. At the top were feelings such as gratitude, happiness, acceptance, kindness, forgiving, sharing, loving, etc... At the bottom were feelings like anger, resentment, hate, jealousy, selfishness, guilt, shame, violence, manipulation, etc... He spoke about how we would obviously love to have only the feelings listed on the top all the time. Not the bottom. However, that would be like having everything at your left, and having to take the long way around to get to the left again. We simply cannot have feelings at the top without the bottom. We wouldn't know true joy without having felt deep sadness at some point. It all balances itself out. Such is life. The personal story at the end was wonderful. Paying it forward. ☮️

Acts of Kindness
The true path to happiness is helping others. It comes from our own actions. Every action creates a reaction. When we are able to help others without expecting anything in return, it gives us purpose along with a sense of wellbeing.
