Every day we wake up, swear that today is the day we make a difference, and then a few meetings, reports and e-mails later, we forget all about it. We get it, extending your kindness and committing to a selfless life of giving isn't exactly everybody's cup of tea. After all, we are busy! Busy with work, family, finances, friends, partners, fitness...and the list goes on forever. However, that does not mean we don't wish to do our bit. Just because our calendars are filled to the brim, it does not mean that we don't want to give back to the world or engage in acts of kindness. 

 

An innate drive to be humane and compassionate versus piling up commitments, who will win? Well, luckily, both can! Read on to discover ways in which you can do your bit and make the world a brighter, better place, in under two minutes! This World Kindness Day, don't let the lack of time take away from the calls of your big heart!
