Whether it's those close to you or not, how have you improved the quality of life for other people? This could be small trivial little things such as a little help with something, something you do regularly that makes a larger impact, or a big thing you have done to make a positive change for a large group. If you've never done anything for anyone else, and there's nothing that you want to do for other people, share what you do to improve your own life.
It's not really a big deal, but the lady who lives next to me is older (70+) and doesn't drive. She lives by herself, but has kids who are over on a regular basis, so she's not totally alone and is taken care of. But once I was on my porch and she comes over and asks if I could run to the local CVS to pick up her prescriptions because they were ready and her kids were still at work. It was no problem, the store was just five blocks away. After that I'd periodically ask if she had any prescriptions she needed picked up and sometimes she says yes, but usually says no. Sometimes when I'm running to the supermarket, I'll call her ask if she needs anything while I'm there. Sometimes she says yes, sometimes no. She appreciates my asking and I'm happy to do it.
