One Little Hack for an Extraordinary Life

This is one of the golden rules for success. ??

Imagine asking for one coffee and getting 2 coffees. ??

Imagine just wanting a haircut but getting an extraordinary haircut. ??

Imagine wanting a good life but getting a magnificent life. ??

That’s what separates most of us. ??

At one point or another, we all try to get the most with the least amount of effort. But that doesn’t really work, does it? ??

When we try to “cheat” the system it rarely gives us a good result. ??

However, if we always give our best, is there really any way for us to lose? ??

Personally, I don’t have any example from myself or from other people that regret doing their best in any situation. ??

We always feel fulfilled when we know that there wasn’t much else we could have done and that we put it all on the line. ??

Sure, there’s a possibility to feel resentful but that may be the case only if you try to compare yourself with others. Don’t look at life as a competition because you’ll never win. ??

There’s always going to be someone happier, someone with more money, someone with a better body, someone with a better [anything you can think of]. ??

Why would you compare yourself to other people when you can compare your past self with your current self? ??

That’s the best way to measure YOUR progress and not someone’s else. ???

Look at any movie, TV show or story. Everyone is different and there’s no point in even arguing who is stronger or why they are stronger. That’s why forums are a never-ending discussion of why a character is better, stronger, faster. ????

Everyone is born in a different environment and has a different path in life. ??

However, delivering more than expected is what will always push us forward to grow as people and at the same time, help the world and the people around us grow as well. ???

Deliver more than expected and you’ll always be in high demand and around great people. ??
