Do more than is required. The distance between someone who achieves
their goals consistently and those who spend their lives merely following is
‘The Extra Mile’ (Grey Blair).
There is no passion to be found playing
small-in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of
living (Nelson Mandela). The extra mile is never crowded because many people
are not interested in going that way. ‘If you don’t love something, you are not
going to go the extra mile, work the extra weekend, challenge the status quote
as much’. Your talents determine what you can do, your motivation determines
how much you are willing to do and your attitude determines how well you do it.
Push yourself because no one is going to do it for you. Don’t limit your
challenges,
challenge your limits. Go as far as you can see and you will see further. People of excellence go the extra mile and do what’s right. Shift your brilliance by going the extra mile without being told to do so. In simple terms, going extra mile is to make more effort than is expected of you. Being curious and enthusiastic can really help you go the extra mile. If you want to change your business, raise the bar. You want to be the best among your colleagues? It’s not a day’s job neither is it an easy task, you’ve to go the extra mile. Do things that the other person is not doing, make research that the other is not doing, get information that they are not getting, and then get the results they will never get. It’s the simple truth about going the extra mile.

An important principle of success in all walks of life and in all
occupations is a willingness to " Go The Extra Mile "; which means
the rendering of more and better service than that for which one is paid, and
giving it in a positive mental attitude. Search wherever you will for a single
sound argument against this principle and you will not find it, nor will you
find a single instance of enduring success, which was not attained in part by
its application. The greatest benefit
for going the extra mile is because It gives one the only logical reason for
asking for increased compensation. If a man performs no more service than that
for which he is being paid, then obviously he is receiving all the pay to which
he is entitled. Anybody may earn a living without the habit of going the extra
mile. And many do just that, but the economic security and luxuries available
under the great Nigeria way of life are available only to the individual who
makes this habit a part of his philosophy of life and lives by it as a matter
of daily routine.
When everybody is
stopping at how far they think they can go, make a difference, by going the
extra mile. Go beyond your own limits and you will discover things beyond your
imaginations. Don’t only know God, go the extra mile by getting closer to Him
and communicating with him (the difference will show). There is always
something so amazing at the other side. Going the extra mile though it’s not
crowded has its own challenges and sacrifices and that is the obvious reason
why a lot of people don’t go, but believe me, the reward will be worth the
effort, the difference will clearly show.
