#Day 82: 22 March 2016

EXTRA MILE

I read an article from RMRS (Real Man Real Style) about few steps in life. Basically it says about:

Step 1. Showing up - this is our first step in achieving what we want in life. We need to show up.

Step 2. Do a good enough job that you don’t get in trouble. After the second step most people stop.

However those that seek greatness know there is a third step.

Step 3 –  Go the Extra Mile. Going the extra mile is the difference between being average vs being the one of the top performers/athletes/musicians/businessmen in the world.

Really – it’s that important. Going the extra mile is also showing our desire and our commitment.

Matthew 5:41 NIV says  If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles.

I believe that everyone want to be around people who give you the two miles, who show passion and really want to make a difference.

When you choose to go the extra mile it immediately shows you have initiative, that you are committed. Going the extra mile shows you care about quality work, that you take responsibility seriously.

In short, it shows that you care!

It also shows that we are focus on the important things, on what matters. We can be the uplifted Martha!

1 Corinthians 9:24-27 NIV - Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.

Go the extra mile, also means we know what we are doing, giving our best to get the crown that will last forever.

So, when we see someone going the extra mile, acknowledge and give them praise, pat them at the back and support them. Show them that you also care, as they care.

Be FRESH. Another that full of blessing.
