5 REASONS
WHY YOU
SHOULD
GO THE
EXTRA MILE
made by
Rayvon C.
Contrary to popular belief, it doesn’t
take much to go the extra mile. You don’t need
an advanced degree. You don’t need lots of
money. All you need is a willing heart. And if
you purpose yourself in going the extra mile in
all that you do, all that other “stuff” will come
anyway. It’s time we tap into the spirit of
excellence within each of us that is often left
unexpressed. We have to learn to operate on
a higher scale of excellence – a realm that can
only be achieved when we go further than our
comfort zones. All things considered, here are
some of the many reasons you should aspire
to live more, be more, and do more.
1. IT FEELS GOOD.
Whether it’s staying at
the gym for fifteen extra
minutes, exceeding a
client’s expectations in
the workplace, or mailing
a handwritten letter to
family members and
friends, going the extra
mile feels good. It’s like
you have an extra pep
in your step; Almost as
if your all-time favorite
song is on repeat. And
with everything bad
that’s happening in the
world today, we could

can’t go the extra mile if
you’re too afraid of what
you’ll encounter on the
trail. If you want to go to
the next level in your life,
good for you. But you’ll
have to do more than
just talk about it. Why?
INNOVATION ISSUE
Because each new level
in your life requires a new
version of yourself – and
you won’t get there by
not going the extra mile.
3. YOU GET WHAT
YOU PUT OUT.
Give and it will come
back to you. That’s
not just for tithes and
offering. It’s a way of
life. You put out good,
good will come back.
Similarly, if you put out
bad, that’s what you’ll
get in return. And if that’s
not enough to get you
pushing harder, consider
this: Going the extra mile
lays the foundation for
a successful future. It’s
like releasing a series of
non-verbal affirmations
about what you expect
from the world around
you. If you don’t want to
wake up one day with a
