"You see the opportunity. You are aware.
But you’re busy.

“I need to be somewhere, doing something, otherwise I’d help.”

“Someone else will do it.”

“Someone else will pick it up.”

“Someone else will handle it.”

“It’s not my responsibility.”

Allowing one less opportunity of service or kindness fall to the wayside due to laziness each week will add 52 acts of inspiration to your year. Push it to two a week and you add more than 100. Imagine the possibilities."
