In episode 63 of How To Matter, I suggest a strategy you may want to use to increase your Make A Difference quotient. There is of course the traditional strategy for making a difference as illustrated in the handout for the episode included below. The strategy suggested in the podcast is unrelated to the traditional strategy and is guaranteed to raise your Make A Difference quotient along with making your days more enjoyable.

Look up and not down. Look forward and not back. Look out and not in, and lend a hand. -- Edward Everett Hale

You are seldom too busy or stressed to lend a hand, pitch in, to help others succeed. This does not mean that you let others intrude on your personal space or time. Rather, it means that you are usually able and willing to assist, help when there is an immediate need, do what you can for others, deal with what needs dealt with.
