Scenario 1

You loan a friend $50 when they are having a tough week. They tell you they will be receiving a cheque in the mail next month. A month goes by and you reach out to them and request repayment of your $50. Your friend happily reimburses you and you feel at peace that the original agreement was honored.

Scenario 2

You loan a friend $50 when they are having a tough week. They tell you they will be receiving a cheque in the mail next month. A month goes by and you forget and make plans to meet them for coffee because you're excited to tell them about what happened at work this week. You have a wonderful meet-up and your friend surprises you with the $50 that you had completely forgotten about. You feel appreciation for the money as well as for having a friend that keeps their word.

Scenario 3

You loan a friend $50 when they are having a tough week. They tell you they will be receiving a cheque in the mail next month. A month goes by and you completely forget that any of this has happened. You are walking down the street one day and see money on the ground from far away. You expect someone walking in front of you to pick it up but somehow they all walk over it. As you near, you bend down to pick it up thinking it is a $20 bill but it turns out to be 2 crisp $20 bills and a $10 bill. You can't believe you found $50 on the ground! Later on your walk you remember that you loaned your friend $50 and recognize that it is incredible that that is the exact amount that you found. You had heard many times that what you put out you get back and finally start to realize how precisely this is true. You are left feeling a sense of awe about life.

In each of these scenarios the outcome is the same. You loaned a friend money and you got that money back but the feeling in each scenario is completely different.

Every now and then, let magic happen, it feels the greatest.
