"Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right." ~ Henry Ford

​​

Thoughts: If you don't know where to start, start with your mindset. A positive perspective and belief in yourself make a big difference in your efforts.

​

Networking: Go out and meet people. When you get around people with the desire to learn and authentically build relationships, you'll find various ways to Make Life Better; not only by yourself, but with and through the connections that you build.

​

Provide Value: Think about what you have to offer people. This could be an idea for a product or service, your ability to refer people, or even experience you have that others can learn from. Find a way to package whatever it is and share it. We all have something we can do or provide that would be a benefit to others.

​

Support Others: ​Be the positive influence you wish you had. When someone shares their plans or goals, ask them questions that help them refine the idea. Give them actionable advice and encourage them to learn skills that will compliment what they're doing. You could even show support by sharing what they're doing with others, or being one of their first clients or customers. Most people don't realize how much they Make Life Better, just by believing in someone else.

​

Make A Difference: If you see a problem that needs solving, do something about it. Complaining and begging other people to care doesn't do much to fix something, especially if the work that needs doing never gets done. Actually get involved in or create something that will bring about the solution or change needed to see that problem disappear. Share the information with others in a way that isn't forced, and people will be more likely to join you in supporting the cause, instead of being upset by it.

​​

Always Keep Learning: If you've never heard of the unknown unknowns concept by Donald Rumsfeld, look it up. We can think we know things and be aware of things we don't fully understand, but there are things out there you don't even know that you don't know. The more people realize that we can always learn more about any given thing, the more open people will be to have conversations and listen to the perspectives of others, which removes barriers and will ultimately Make Life Better for everyone.

​

Think About The Children: You don't have to be a parent to know that the next generation plays a huge part in how we all Make Life Better. Consider the example you are setting for the children you interact with or even the ones that you don't. Kids are more observant then you know, and the term "Monkey see, monkey do," is well known for a reason. How the world progresses is a direct reflection of what influences we allow ourselves to be to the children in or around our lives, consciously or unconsciously.
