Have you noticed those rare individuals who go out of their way for others. A auto service manager who is particularly focused on your problem, a co-worker who helps you complete a task not in their job description, or even a family member who does something to ease your burden lighten your load. All these people are focusing on making your day a bit better and easier and they are getting great benefits themselves in the process. You see, they know that going beyond what others expect can never be a bad thing. It's a great principle to live by no matter who you are or what you do. Your high self esteem is something that shines out beyond the boundaries of what you imagine your extra efforts mean to the people you help. Think of it this way. There's nothing that beats the special feeling when someone surprises you by going the extra mile, Yes? Conversly, there is nothing like the feeling you will get when you are the one blessing another human being. Can you see that nature encourages the habit of going the extra mile. Every animal or plant in the ecosystem is designed to reach beyond it's grasp so that they are ever growing and contributing. Without this design, the environment would become crippled and eventually die. It's as if our life force demands that working harder is necessary for survival. If every person on the earth adopted this philosophy of thinking about the good of our fellow humans the world would undoubtedly be a far better place. I can remember a world where service was always courteous and delivered with a bright smile. You might still see it today but it's a rare event anymore. We now come to expect poor service with a forced smile everywhere we go. We are actually startled when a service person actually seems to want to keep our business. Unfortunately, it's possible to still make a living without ever having to stretch the boundaries of what you will and will not do in terms of making a customer happy but, if you stretch yourself beyond what is expected, there are great benefits to be had. My 10 Reasons to go the extra mile: 1. Give you a new life's purpose 2. Develops a positive mental attitude 3. Make you a positive initiator 4. Improve the environment for you and everyone else around you 5. Make you an invaluable employee 6. You might get a pay raise or promotion without asking 7. Make you a go-to magnet in the workplace 8. Clear conscience 9. Can prevent procrastination 10. Going the extra mile can stimulate your soul That fulfilled feeling you get inside when you go the extra mile for someone else is priceless. There's no substitute for getting a heartfelt thanks from someone and you can rest easy in the knowledge that you have made life more joyful for those around you. Not only this, each person you help will be happy to be in your company, in fact, will seek you out when it comes to giving you some benefit without you even asking for it. Doing more than expected brings surprise benefits. Why not try to incorporate this idea into your daily life. By setting a goal that you will forget the benefit to you and go out of your way for someone else on a daily basis – you commit yourself to that warm fuzzy glow daily too and you open doors for others to go the extra mile for you! One of the biggest benefits of going the extra mile is it will undoubtedly make you stand out in a crowd and, of course, this might just help you achieve that financial or career success you dream of.
