Take Time
or
Make time
“You can’t be kind when you are in a hurry.” - Bobby Schuller
Think about it. When you ‘take time’ to do something, there is an implication that the time is being taken from something else — that it is an interruption to other things that you were planning to do. So, if you are thinking that you are taking time to do an act of kindness, is it really more of an interruption than a true kindness?
On the other hand, if you ‘make time’ to do something, you are creating a window where you are free to do something important and your mind fully supports doing it. It is not an interruption— instead, it is something you fully intend to do.
It may well be more than a play on words. The way you talk to yourself may be a signal as to how you feel about what you are going to do. Are you going to ‘take time’? Or are you going to ‘make time’ for something that will truly be an intentional act of kindness.
If you ‘take time’ to listen, are you truly listening? If you ‘make time’ to 
hear what people are saying, you will become better aware of ways to help.
Another thought. The ‘hurry’ in your life may be robbing you of enjoying each day as much as you could. If you slow down — consciously slow down — you can release or avoid the stress you feel that comes from feeling so busy. If you slow down, you will be more able to ‘make time’ to do a lot of things you’ve been wanting to do.
