Go The Extra Mile
The bare minimum won’t lead to extraordinary results
By Chardonnay Beaver – chardonnaybeaver.com
The bare minimum is an interesting idea—it’s doing just enough to meet expectations, like simply “getting by.”
While this may work for basic tasks, it rarely leads to anything extraordinary. The people who achieve greatness—whether athletes, performers, or innovators—don’t settle for what’s required. They push themselves to go beyond it.
These high achievers share a relentless drive to improve, constantly refining their skills and aiming for mastery. They dedicate extra time, energy, and focus to perfect their craft and explore new possibilities. They go the extra mile.
This mindset of going the extra mile is what separates the ordinary from the remarkable. It’s not about talent alone—it’s about effort, persistence, and the willingness to push past comfort zones. By refusing to settle for the bare minimum, we open the door to extraordinary results and a life that exceeds expectations.
Words of Wisdom by Char of The Week: You may not be an athlete, performer, or innovator – but you have what’s necessary to play a significant role in whatever you’re a part of. We’re less likely to go the extra mile on a path we don’t care about, but true treasures often reveal themselves when we do our part and trust God with the rest.
