Can you imagine a world where everyone took a moment to put themselves in another person's shoes? What would that do to impact our daily interactions with everyone we met?

 

It would change the world.

 

Thatâs the vision of Sara Schairer. She realizes the key to this is compassion. If we could install that single act into our daily lives, the world would be a better place. Which is why she started the movement to turn compassion into a verb.

 

Enter: Compassion It

 

 

 

 

Compassion It is focused around equipping individuals with a reversible bracelet, similar to the Livestrong bracelet. You start the day on one side. Then when you complete an act of compassion, you flip it to the reverse.

 

This movement is gaining momentum.

 

To date Compassion It has sold over 70,000 bracelets covering 6 continents, 49 counties and in all 50 states. Sara has expanded to include comprehensive curriculum, lesson plans, Self Compassion bracelets and more.

 

Quote that Inspired it All

 
âCompassion is the most important lesson to teach our children. If we could teach our kids to put themselves in other shoes and help them, we would solve every social issue on the planet. No more hunger. No more poverty. No more war, all because of compassion. â

- Wayne Dryer
Motto:

 
âWhile some sees them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.â

- Steve Jobs, Apple
