Pay it forward

This is a really good movie. It gives us inspirations and hope in life. It was a very touching
movie especially on the kid trevor’s side. It made me realize how helping does not have
requirements before doing it. It is something done with the willingness of one person to do so. It
does not matter how young or old a person is. It does not matter if one is rich or not. Helping does
not always have to be monetary. Hardships are not only financial. It comes and is possibly
experienced in every aspects in life. We can be challenged mentally or physically and such. And
this movie would teach us how a little act can be of help to another person. This movie should be
a must-watch movie for all the people in the world. We never know how out little affections can
affect another person. We never know how we are able to help one person in different ways.

Kindness was one of the things shown in the movie. The ability to help other people as
much as we can. Having affection to other people that are not in any way related to you is one of
the best thing a person can have although it may also result to other people abusing your kindness
but the fact that you made your effort to help on you capabilities is enough. You do not have to
drain yourself to be able to let other people drink. Your self should always be your priority before
thinking of other people. In everything that we do, we should start from ourselves first to avoid
confusions and uncertainty with yourself and even other people. Kindness starts from ourselves
before we pass it to other person.

One thing I have learned in this movie was that there will always be things that no matter
how you and other people do not want but will still happen. Other things are out of our reach and
just cannot be avoided to happen. The things we want and situations that we want to happen
would not always happen. The world will always give us disappointments. It is something that all
people in the world experience. It is normal for us and we just have to know how to accept it and
let us just keep on moving forward. Let us not focus on the negative side and start looking at the
brighter side. There are also things we could change even after the disappointments we have
met. Let us stay positive because we all need to know that everything happens for a reason.

Another thing is that it is okay for us to love. We should always be ready and open for the
people in our lives. We meet different people every day and we have to learn how to communicate
to be able to socialize with other people. We should always be open for the feelings we would feel
all the time. We could never deny those things so instead, we should learn to embrace it for it is
the easier way to deal with it. Every feelings is worth feeling. There are millions of it in this world
so we should not deprive ourselves to experience them.
 The movie is also inspiring in a way that it showed how we should live our lives with hope.
We should always think positive and never lose hope for our dreams. We should practice to be
focused and look at different aspects in life aside from us so we can appreciate how unique we
are and how others point of views may be different from ours but we still get to understand and
communicate well. That way, we would appreciate ourselves and know what and how we can
keep our hopes up not only for ourselves but also for our loved ones. For us to be determined
and want to live our lives the best way we can, we should never lose hope. No matter how negative
our society has become, let us stay positive and hold on to our hopes to be able to fight our battles
in life with courage.

Lastly, our ability to forgive. Forgiving is something we should be open to for everyone.
Even in ourselves. It gives us peace of mind. It gives us comfort knowing we do not have grudges
and do not have heavy feelings stuck in our heart and mind. This is something we should all
practice. There is no use of holding grudges or holding on to a mistake one did not intentionally
do or even if they did, forgiving should be for yourself not for others. Let us focus on the thing we
need to do and try to avoid distractions to avoid falling and causing disappointment to yourself.

Maybe the reason why people change was because they never really knew themselves.
They were not able to analyze and realize the things they want to do because of their lack of
attention to themselves. In everything that we do in life, we should always start within ourselves
because it is the only way we would be able to do what we do and what we are going to do in the
future. It is never too late. Just as how in the movie, everyone participated in the pay it forward
activity despite the differences they all had. They knew what mattered was being of help to other
people.

It is just sad that in the movie, it ended in a tragic way for trevor where he ended up dying
after trying to help his friend. It is something no one wanted to happen but no one could stop it.
No one expected it but it happened.
