Thank you for reminding me of "Pay it forward" - it is an amazing thought. And I am guessing you are right, it must be possible. What can each of us do in order to do that? Any suggestions?

I think that when you are grateful, you do pay it forward because you do want others to experience well being, right?
So we do pay it forward automatically!

Love,
Tatiana

Gratitude is to be in a state of appreciation, awe, and humility. Thank You to all sentient beings for contributing to their evolution on earth.

paying it forward is not about money . Its about your intentions and actions to send love to everyone in the universe. Giving money is the easiest but giving of your time and by helping others in need is probably one of the best ways of paying it forward.

I actually think you can spread gratitude by paying it forward.
For me...I become grateful that I was able to DO or BE in that place to see a need or want..and have the ability to meet it. Not necessarily in the form of money...but helping hold a door open for an older couple....or carrying a bag for a older man with a cane. Taking someone home who was stranded or just sharing. Sometimes, we don't get to see how our actions affect/effect someone else. That isn't the reason I do it....hmmm maybe I'm being selfish because I do it cuz it pleases me. The deeper I get into LOA, the more I want to 'pay it forward'....because it brings me joy.
HA...lol that's the whole point tho ...innit?!?!?!?

I heard from this Abraham-Hicks that when we're feeling good we are attracting what we want. It makes sense for me that when I am in a giving spirit I feel good and want to give more.. thats gratitude. I have also struggled a bit with not giving and feeling disconnected and alone, that isnt gratitude. If giving make you feel good- pay it forward , it will come right back to you when your ready to receive. It is the cycle of universal abundance.

It reminds me of what Dr Wayne Dyer says "thinking from the end", and I think gratitude and a state o fwell-being, as a higher energy, is highly contagious!

Good idea!
