The Journey

It’s not often that you find people willing to take that extra step in life.  That extra few minutes to take out the trash, or that extra few words that will help console a friend.  What would happen if everyone in life did go that extra step?  I can’t imagine life full of people that were so passionate about those extra few steps.

Each day is a mountain to climb for me.  I must take those steps that help me to recognize my own self-worth.  Not because I am forced too, but because if I don’t what kind of person am I?  I’m 100% or nothing.  Too many times we are poisoned by a world that believes only that to complete a task we must only take the steps that are before us.  Going above and beyond would be ludicrous, outside the realm of comfortable.

I was never one to stay in the realm of "comfortable".  My life loses its edge when I stay in this dreary boring place.  What kind of person would I create if I was to always do only what was required.  This is safe.  No risk, no pain, no learning.  Where is my reward?

No.  The best version of myself will not come from a half-hearted effort.  It will take everything inside of me.  As much as my body and mind can handle, then going further.  Those few extra steps that set me apart from the rest.  Take that for what it is.  I don’t give a **** if you don’t think I have what it takes, or if you think that my dreams are so far out of reach.  The true believer does not look at his/her goals as being out of reach they know that is simply a matter of time.  Payin’ dues everyday.  Sometimes scraping the bottom of the ****in’ barrel to come out on top.  Doing what needs to be done, in order to achieve.
What extra steps have you taken lately?
