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.
Less than five weeks to go! There seems to be a ton of details to be completed before I start riding, but things are falling into place.We're starting to find some key people interested in the "extra mile" mission...and that is great for helping to create momentum. Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey is the first to lend her support, and in that I am very grateful. If you're reading this, I would love it if you left your own extra-mile comment. - Shawn
