“Put ‘going the extra mile’ to work as part of one’s daily habit.” — Bruce Lee
How do the words above resonate with you?
Pause here for a moment and free yourself from distractions:
Take a deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... calm your mind and be present...
What does going the extra mile mean to you?
going the extra mile:
-to be especially assiduous in one's attempt to achieve something.
-to do more than one is required to do
Iyanla Vanzant explains going the extra mile this way:
Going the extra mile means taking what you have and looking for ways to expand it... you believe in your ability to make it happen.
How do you go the extra mile? …what does that look like..?
Doing just a little more than is expected...Being just a little more than expected... Having just a little more than even you expected.
In what ways can you do/be a little more than expected? ...be creative, think outside the box...
It means moving beyond limiting beliefs, restrictive behaviors and being willing to have more than you do right now.
What limiting beliefs and behaviors are you holding onto? Are you ready to let them go..?
It means you want to feel better about yourself. You want to know that you can surpass your own expectations.
How can you treat yourself better and show up for yourself? You are deserving of better...
Today’s Affirmation:
I am devoted to allowing myself to explore the best of all possibilities for myself!
“Don’t accept the available as the preferable. Go extra mile with extra speed.”
― Israelmore Ayivor
How will you go the extra mile today? …What are you willing to do..? It's up to you... your choice...
Don’t miss your opportunity. Be intentional. Encourage others to do the same and watch what happens.
You got this!
