What extra things do you do every day that makes you different from the rest?
What things would you like to do, but are not motivated to execute?
There is a thin line of Hardwork, Persistence & Intrinsic Motivation that separates ordinary from extraordinary
Are you really willing to walk that ‘extra mile’ along the rough path, braving the storm & rally after every fall?
Here are a few practical ways to embrace the “little extra”:
- Set Higher Standards: Challenge yourself to exceed the goals you have set. Aim for continuous improvement rather than just meeting the baseline.
- Cultivate a Growth Mindset: View challenges as opportunities to learn & grow. Embrace failures as part of the journey to extraordinary results.
- Seek Feedback & Act on It: Be open to constructive criticism & use it to enhance your performance. The willingness to learn from others can significantly elevate your efforts.
- Invest in Passion Projects: Pursue activities & goals that genuinely excite you. The extra effort you put into something you are passionate about often leads to outstanding results.
The essence of Jimmy Johnson’s quote lies in understanding that extraordinary outcomes are not achieved by chance but through deliberate & additional effort. By consistently applying that “little extra” in various aspects of life—whether in work, personal development, or creative pursuits—you can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. Embrace the power of the extra mile, and you will find that remarkable achievements are well within your reach.
It all comes down to one question: How far are you ready to go?
