“That best portion of a good man’s life. His little nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.”
William Wordsworth
Please Take One is the start of a global movement to encourage YOU to be more generous. It is a call to lead a more generous life, to maximise our life not our income.
Why?
We need to a build a world of you and me, not you or me.
It is time to live more generously – to move on from the Age of I towards a new Age of Generosity where we decide that actually we can all tackle the challenges our society faces by living more generous proactive lives, and inspiring each other.
Don’t forget that being generous can and will have a positive affect on you as well.
How?
Read the Ten Steps and start thinking about how you can make small (or even large!) acts of generosity a regular part of your life -
• Becoming more involved with your own communities?
• Buy a coffee for the homeless person you pass on your daily commute?
• Volunteer your time at a local charity?
These are just some ideas and it is up to you how you contribute!
The most important thing is that you log your act of generosity on the Please Take One Facebook wall. You can post a description, a photo or video of you as you carry out your generous act. This way you can inspire others to follow in your footsteps – it’s all about sharing ideas and taking one step together towards a more generous life.
