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!

Why You Are Alive

‘You weren’t created to struggle through life, to be restricted by negative thinking, or to be constrained by a bad temper, insecurity, or lack.’- Joel Osteen

Before you give in to your insecurity, before you give in to your fears, your doubts, remember that you are not here by accident. That you are here for a reason. That God created you for a purpose.

That you are not here to play around. That you are not here to struggle through life, to watch other people doing great things. Or to settle for an average life.

That is not you. That is not what God wants for you. Whether you know it or not, you are here to grow through life, not to struggle through life. You are here to live a great life.

To make a difference in the world. To write your own story. To face your own battles. To do what makes you happpy. And to stand up for those who cannot do it for themselves. That is what you are here for. Nothing more, nothing less.

Just because you are not where you want to be, that doesn’t make you a loser. That is just one of the things that you have to go through to get to where you want to be.

When you are in doubt, remember who you are. When you are depressed, going through anxiety, facing a difficult boss, remember who you are.

When negative thoughts come in, remember who you are. Remember why you are here. Always remember your why you are alive. Because when things are tough, why you are alive will keep you going.

As always, you are more, not less!
