The Benefits Of Doing More Than You Are Paid To Do

‘When you do only that for which you are paid, there is nothing out the ordinary to attract favorable comment about the transaction; but, when you willingly do more than for which you are paid, your action attracts the attention of all who are affected by the transaction, and goes another step toward establishing a reputation that will eventually set the Law of Increasing Returns to work in your behalf, for this reputation will create a demand for your services, far and wide.’- Napoleon Hill

The world is after winners, not losers. People are after winners, not losers. Countries are after winners, creators, not losers.

The world rewards winners, not losers. People remember winners, not losers. People wants to be around winners, not losers.

If you want to be like them, you can do it. Because you can change how you think about your work.

You don’t get better by doing the same boring, unchallenging things. Winners don’t like to associate themselves with people who are not challenging themselves. Why?

Because they know what is going to happen to them. They might lose their hunger for success. They don’t want that to happen to them.

They want to win, not to settle for less. If they are not winning, they feel really uncomfortable with themselves.

If you want people to know you, you must wake up, stand up, and work up. You must not be comfortable with the status quo. It is just that.

It makes you comfortable for a day, not forever. It gives you a temporary happiness, but a lifetime of regret.

When you do a better job, people will give you more work to do. You will attract the best to you. You will be known for the best. And you will never look for work. Work will come to you.

You can do more work when you challenge yourself, when you are your own critic, when you are always fighting to get better.

That is how we get better. We get better when we do more. If you want to raise your life, do more work, not less.

As always, you are more, not less!

How To Stop Worry When It Comes

‘When worry comes, don’t go on autopilot; don’t just let it play over and over in your mind.’- Joel Osteen

Worrying about things is normal. We cannot stop it from happening. But we can do something about it. We can stop it from taking over our lives.

Before you give in to worry, ask yourself, ‘Is worrying going to make things better or worse? Am I helping myself or hurting myself?’

Negativity makes things worse, not better. Positivity makes things better, not worse.’

If the answers are not what you want to hear, then you must stop it. Worrying about things, especially things you can’t do anything about, it is a waste of time.

It is okay to worry about things, especially when things are not going well. But is not good to make it a habit. Don’t do it every day.

Because nothing is going to get better just by thinking negatively about it. If you want things to get better, you must change your thoughts. You must shift your state of mind.

Instead, focus on what you can do right now to make your situation better. Look for ways to make yourself happy.

If you are a reader, then pick up a book and read. If you love music, then listen to your favorite one. If you love to go out, then reach out to one of your people. Because it is better that way. You feel really better when you are around people who are for you, who want you to make it in life.

When worry comes, remember: negativity makes things worse, not better. Positivity makes things better, not worse.

As always, you are more, not less!
