Motivational Monday: Dan Gable

Going the extra mile.

When we are put into new situations, sometimes it takes us a minute to get a feel of the people, the opportunity, the position, even the work. We feel like maybe when we get comfortable enough with our new surroundings we will go about getting more done, making ourselves more approachable, even going out of our way to do more. I want to tell you that the best way to get more comfortable with your surroundings is to basically dive into it! If you are naturally a go getter, why would you present yourself...in the beginning, as someone who is not?

Today's motivational quote is about doing more than is expected of you.

"You can’t ever work too much because there’s no such thing as being in too good condition. You can’t ever lift too many weights because you can’t ever get too strong. You can’t ever wrestle too much because you can always do better.”nbsp;      -Dan Gable

Although this quote is about sports, we can translate it to anything in our lives. You can never learn too much because there is much to be learned. You can never stop progressing because we are always growing. The part of the quote that really resonates with me is
"...you can always do better."
Let that marinate.
