Half-way home

Think of your greatest successes. Think of your best day ever...your best relationships...your greatest gift to your community. Somewhere, tied to each of these, you went the extra mile. And it paid off.

Going the extra mile is doing more than the normal...more than expected. Going the extra mile is extending ourselves in our efforts and our communication. Going the extra mile is getting back up after we've been knocked down, despite whatever has happened, and saying, "I still choose the very best for myself!"

The Extra Mile America Foundation is an organization that encourages positive attitude and action by reaching out to individuals, organizations, businesses, and schools. Through lectures, teleconferences, and social networks, we empower people to apply the extra-mile principle, reach their goals, and live a more self-directed life.

Today, I took the time to stop at the Harry S. Truman presidential library, home, and burial site. I have always admired Mr. Truman's rise from his Missouri farmer's roots to the White House and his great lifetime love with Bess. It's a hero's story all the way around.

We have been averaging 500+ miles a day driving so it isn't just one giant push...and tonight I find myself in WaKeeney, Kansas. Sitting behind the wheel has been cathartic and focusing on the road has given my brain a small reprieve from thinking about the Extra Mile America Tour.

In the next couple of days, however, I will start to review all of my extra mile interviews in an attempt to identify ten that I found extra inspiring...to me.

THAT will be very, very hard.
