There are no traffic jams on the extra mile. –Zig Ziglar
In this post let me share a refreshing reminder from Zig Ziglar regarding success, that success lies in doing what most people avoid. He said “There are no traffic jams on the extra mile”. How often have you seen someone going above and beyond? Most stop at “good enough,” but those who push further enter a space where the competition is almost non-existent. You know what does that extra mile in this quote represents: it represents effort, focus, and the determination to stand out in a world that often values shortcuts.
But here’s the best part: it’s not just about the professional wins. Going the extra mile transforms you personally. It builds confidence, sharpens your focus, and creates a sense of pride in your work. You learn to embrace challenges and grow in ways that the “bare minimum” mindset never allows.
So, the next time you’re tempted to stop at average, ask yourself, “What’s one more thing I can do?” The answer might just lead you to extraordinary opportunities. After all, the rewards of the extra mile—fulfilment, growth, and success—are always worth the effort.
