“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” – Mahatma Gandhi
Kindness can be transformative. A volunteer experience might give you new ideas for a business or project. Helping another business owner or pairing up in a partnership may help you to better identify your own future business opportunities. Maybe it won’t teach you any of that and you’ll simply feel energized by being kind. Regardless, by helping others, you can grow as an individual.
