MADETOLEAD MADEXXX mouth full of “ I should have done this ” and “ I wish I would have done that ”, you need to get up , get out , and get into the race because you ’ re responsible for your own life .
4 . DOING GOOD IS INFECTIOUS . When you make the conscious decision to go the extra mile , you compel all those around you to do the same . I ’ m sure we ’ ve all heard the phrase , “ birds of a feather , flock together .” Well , it ’ s true . We inspire each other to be better through our actions . It ’ s that feeling you get when
PEOPLE SHOULD ASPIRE TO BE BETTER BECAUSE THEY SEE YOU GOING SO HARD .
your best friend enrolls in graduate school – you start looking into going back to school yourself . Or the self-reflection you experience at your cousin ’ s wedding – you start thinking about your own love life beyond the scope of swiping left and swiping right . When the people around us succeed , we too want to succeed and rightfully so . The same is true for going the extra mile . People should aspire to be better because they see you going so hard in everything you do .
5 . IT MAKES YOU STAND OUT . Sometimes , we can get discouraged from going the extra mile out of fear of the unknown . And rather than owning up to our fear and addressing it appropriately , we tend to hide behind surface level colloquialisms like “ Everyone is doing it ” or “ The market is oversaturated in my field .” Well , I ’ ve got news for you . Don ’ t be fooled by what you see posted on social media . There ’ s more people out here stuntin ’ than there are out here winning , facts only . This is mainly because a lot of people want success , but they aren ’ t willing to actually work for it . It ’ s like they want success brought to them on a silver platter or something . But piss poor work ethics don ’ t yield victory . If you want success – prove it . Not for the gratification of those around you , but for yourself . Because no matter how you dress it , people can see when you ’ re cut from a different cloth . They see the grind . They see the work ethic . The resilience . And even if they never say it to your face , who cares . You should aspire to go the extra mile anyway . made-magazine . com | 14
