Why Giving vs Kindness?  Am I Getting It Right?

Why Giving vs Kindness?  Am I Getting It Right?

We are often asked why 365give refers to “giving” vs “ kindness” or “charity?” What’s the difference?

Giving is defined as “to present voluntarily and without expecting compensation.”

So the answer is simple. 365give is the umbrella that embraces it all.  The best of humanity with no expectation of anything in return. It can be planned, it can be random – it can “pay it forward”.

It includes all the goodness that our brains and our bodies were born to do.

  • Kindness
  • Gratitude
  • Global Citizenship
  • Social Good
  • Empathy
  • Compassion
  • Altruism
  • Good Will
  • Charity
  • Helpfulness
  • Thoughtfulness

The added benefit: Giving reduce our stress and makes us happy. Research proves it!

Giving can be directed towards all parts of our world. It doesn’t have to take a lot of time and it doesn’t have to cost a dime.  Here are just a few ideas to get you going and you will find so much more here.

Give to our Planet:

  • Pick up garbage when you are out for a walk
