“Look around Africa, you’ll see that new millionaires are springing up everyday. It is good to create wealth, but along with wealth-creation must come a deep sense of responsibility. Africa’s rich need to collectively deploy their resources for the good of the people around them.”

DAY 21: If This Were Your Last Day, How Would You Spend It?

The Idea: Procrastination often creeps into our lives despite our best intentions. There are things we perpetually put off for tomorrow -- sometimes these are the things that we ultimately hold most dear. Today, on this final day of the Gratitude Challenge, take time to rearrange your priorities. Think about the many people, places, experiences and things that you have given gratitude for over the past three weeks. Your life is brimming with gifts for you to enjoy, to help others and share with the world. If today was your last day on this earth, think about how you would want to spend it. Carve out some time today to honour the things you are most grateful for. Perhaps by an act of generosity, or by spending time in meditation or prayer, or by doing something special with loved ones.
