How to Make a Positive Impact on the Lives of Others
Deciding to make your mark on the world in a positive way is a noble goal. One of the best ways to find happiness, fulfillment, a sense of purpose, and a sense of belonging is to try to help improve the lives of others. However, this can be an overwhelming goal: how can you, just one individual person, change others' lives for the better? Thinking about that question may make you feel insignificant and impotent, but we've got concrete advice on how you can begin to affect others positively.
Starting          with Yourself

1 Find your own joy. If you want to try to make others happy, then you'll need to start with yourself. What makes you happy? What brings you joy? Thinking about these questions will help you start to figure out how you can spread happiness to others.
Make          a list of the times you've been happiest in your life. It may help          for you to go through a photo-book for this. Pay attention to the          photos where you look happiest or at peace: What were you doing          then? Who were you with?
         Do          you still manage to find time to engage in these activities? If not,          try to make it a priority to set time aside for you to do things          that truly make you feel happy.
         Even          if you don't have the time to go on long off-trail runs every          weekend like you used to, for example, perhaps you can manage to fit          in a jog around your local park once or twice or week. You may be          surprised at how quickly you start to perk up after returning to the          activity you once loved so much. [To          be Continued.....]
