Pay it Forward
Posted by: Mari-Lyn on: July 2, 2009
I absolutely love this movie.
It is really simple. You want to know how you can make a difference? Find 3 people to help everyday. It’s always the small simple acts that make the BIG difference. Even though the movie suggests 3 big things to pay it forward and you feel you just can’t help in this way, start small and grow up your deeds into big ones.
On You Tube there are several different video’s people have recorded to get a movement going. Get the movie, watch it and get inspired again.
Remember, 3 kind acts a day will make a BIG difference.
How can we make a difference?
Posted by: Mari-Lyn on: June 24, 2009
Making a difference in people’s lives is our biggest challenge and yet it is what people want to do and do more of. I recently returned from a road trip of which I picked-up all my paperwork about Kindness and the challenges we have with it all. Questions that we need to ask ourselves like, How does kindness help others? Who are the people that use kindness as a tool or a way of being. Can Kindness be a market maker? The leader in shifting and changing the world?
We need to appreciate to understand, to value, to love and be compassionate towards each other. How can we experience the big “O.” No, I am not talking about orgasm, I am talking about relationships, about making the connection in making a difference in someone’s else’s life. The art of people includes: Respect, Appreciation, Kindness and Gratitude.
Abraham Lincoln said, “He had toughness, tenacity to move forward, stay engaged and press on.”
How can I or you to inspire others to reach their fullest potential by being leaders in kindness?
When I originally created Heart@Work as a relationship company who would provide consulting services to HR and other relationship based companies, we (my board of directors) came up with a few ideas to spread the word of how Kindness could change a business. Here are a few ideas you can use, as well use our vendors and other articles that will help you make a difference for someone.
- Give people cupcakes on their birthday
- Write articles on how Kindness has affected your life
- Show compassion by giving a smile away, give a hug, listen, celebrate humanity, have empathy and be nice
- Give a dinner party
- Be an information hub, like I am here at Thought Leadership
- Gather like-minded individuals together to facilitate a project
- Do lunch and learns about how people can make a difference
Remember….
Kindness forges meaningful relationships and connects us all. Paying it forward is giving an act big or small to reach out to another person. It’s a gift that we give to each other. The hardest part for most people is to receive this gift. We need to be willing to receive help, and open our hearts. Brand yourself to be memorable to leave behind a heart warming experience.
Be a Kindness or Make a Difference Merchant!
In the next coming weeks, I’ll be posting people and companies who do good. Stay tuned..
Do You Feel Uprooted?
Posted by: Mari-Lyn on: June 2, 2009
Do you feel uprooted like this tree? 
Robin and I were out for a morning walk and I saw this tree uprooted. I instantly liked it. It reminded me of life, and how sometimes I have felt like many of you uprooted and this particular tree fell over and was upside down in a creek.
In life or in marketing we may at some point in time feel uprooted or not sure what to do next. This is a good time to re-invent your life or your business by taking stock of your qualities, characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses. Write out a strategy which is an action plan to where you want to go. Get help if you don’t know how you can reach your destination. You can do some mind mapping, talk to other people, brain- storm or even better yet, join a Mastermind group. There are lots resources and people who are willing to help. All you have to do is to take the 1st step, by asking. Asking is probably the most difficult.
If it’s your life that you are working on, do the same because out of this is what you can put together for yourself, figure out your passions, name them and take classes that interest you. Soon you’ll move on beyond being that uprooted tree, grow new roots by one action at a time. Don’t forget to ask. Help is close by. Take the support, even if someone calls you once a week, or you meet this person/group for coffee once in a while or you get involved in your local community that you are passionate about.
Treat it as a new adventure, something to look forward to rather than treading your new re-invention. Life is actually fun, beautiful, and exciting. It’s your choice what you want to call it, or if you prefer to stay uprooted or firmly planted in the direction you want to go or be.
Have fun, be grateful and joyful for your new journey.

A Difference Maker:
Linda Samuels has created Seaside Enterprises. Her vision is to empower, to inspire, and to change the world, one client at a time.
BillionaireBabies, LLC, was established in 2007 by its current CEO, Linda Samuels. Linda founded the company to help parents and children develop the skills they need in order to become successful entrepreneurs. Our plan at BillionaireBabies is to empower children, ages 3-23, with the confidence and the skills to be able to start and maintain their own successful business and so that each child can be the best they can possibly be. Our program focuses on increasing self-esteem, establishing independence, and learning how to succeed.
Linda Mission for Billionaire Babies is:
In truth, BabyBillionaires are young entrepreneurs that are being specially mentored to run their own business at a very young age. Our mission is to help create as many of these as possible right now-to empower today’s children to become tomorrow’s leaders.
Who needs BabyBillionaires, entrepreneurs educated the right way at an early age? Why the world does. The world needs business owners who know what they’re doing, have a good sense of social responsibility and environmental fidelity, and care as much about the world advancing as they care about their own ability to profit from their labor. Having BabyBillionaires at the helms of industry and government is a safeguard against bureaucracy, fantasy economics, and politics. The world needs people who are brought up right, who can think about finances, labor, and business in a profitable and responsible way.
Interested in adopting a Billiionaire? You can donate from $25.00 and up or buy their books, or CD sets. For more information visit them at: http://www.billionairebabies.net
