Welcome to Game Change Your Life.

I'm Dave Anderson with our Friday, two-minute warning, podcast edition of the Game

Change Your Life. I post these on Friday. You can listen to them any day, but they're designed to give you something to think about, watch for, or do to finish your week. Strong, maximize your weekend. I occasionally include a red zone rant, but not today. Here's what I want to talk about extending yourself to benefit others. I want you to look for something you do. If you're listening to this on Friday, over the weekend, that's not your responsibility. Nobody expects you to do it. It's not really in your job description, but you're going to do it anyway. Let's say you're at home and the dishes are stacking up. Maybe you don't usually do the dishes. Do them. All right? You see, the leaves need to be raked. Not really your job. Do it. Your spouse is sleeping in. You're up a little bit early. Go wash his or her car. Just do it. The laundry's stacking up, do it. Do a load. Do two loads. If it's in the basket, fold it. Now, do something that's unexpected, extending yourself to help somebody else. Two conditions. You don't

mention it to the person and you expect nothing in return. Don't do it and then brag about it.

Oh, did you see what I did? That destroys the effect. Let them notice it. Let them get wow.

When you start to extend yourself to benefit others beyond what is expected, here's what you're

really doing.

You're living to meet your own standard, not for the approval of others. And you start to create a condition your mindset to regularly extend yourself to add value to others with no

strings attached. And it just gets you thinking and living at a higher level. And you know what

else? It just flat out feels good. So look for a

chance to do this this weekend or today or whatever day you're listening to this. Extend yourself

to benefit others. And let me close with this. You may not be able to add yours your life,

but you can add life to your years. And you can start now. Stop being lived. Start living the game

change your life and it

helps when you're extending yourself to benefit others and we'll talk again real soon. You know,
