Going The Extra Mile<\/h1>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t
How many times in our lives have we heard \u201cYou just need to go the extra-mile?\u201d Too many to remember. I find it quite fascinating to think about what if I just would have gone the extra mile on this or on that. However, if you do think about the times of success when you went that extra-mile I bet it would help you to always want to put that into practice.<\/h6>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t
\tOur parents would say: \u201cjust do that extra homework, go the extra-mile!\u201d Did we? Maybe we did sometimes. I bet those times you did, earned you an \u201cA\u201d instead of a \u201cB.\u201d How about when going for a job interview, you went a little extra prepared and dressed a little sharper. We went that extra-mile to lose the weight (sometimes literally.) We may have gone that extra-mile for a date or proposal. I think if we really think about it, that extra-mile prevailed more times than not.<\/h6>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

So why don\u2019t we always<\/b> go the extra-mile? We forget about all those times it worked out so well for us. Even little things we do to go that extra-mile can make such a differences in other\u2019s lives. What if we went the extra-mile to say \u201cHi\u201d to our neighbor or, even a stranger? The extra-mile in making time for a loved one has rewards unmeasured. What if we went that extra-mile in simple things like making our bed, loading or unloading the dishwasher, or making our beds to the best of perfection. Just that little extra would put a smile on your significant others face and take away that constant little annoyance. I jest on that one, sometimes it\u2019s fun to annoy them. All kidding aside, people definitely recognize that extra-mile. <\/h6>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t
\tAs a former professional dancer I had to go the extra-mile my whole life to train to get the part or lead in a show. As a performing arts school owner, people had to go the extra mile to get a job from me, or get the solo. A professional athlete definitely had to go the extra mile for years to get a position they wanted or team they strived to be a part of. Scholars definitely went the extra mile to earn that diploma with honors. Doctors and nurses go that extra mile to save lives.<\/h6>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t
\tSuccess and reward always comes from that extra-mile. To remember that reward and the domino effect it has on others is the key. What if we all made that constant effort to always go the extra-mile? What if?<\/b><\/h6>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
