Go The Extra Mile

Hi everyone,
I have not blogged for a while now..been busy with other things and I think the writer's block still hovering over my head!Still looking for the best motivating factor to keep me going...

Today is the only 3rd day of fasting but I already started preparing for the much awaited 'Hari Raya'.I started my Ramadhan with spring cleaning of the house on 2nd day...now spring cleaning to me has to be very thorough...from top to bottom and it was real tiring...and to tell you the truth I am not even half way through it yet...i guess it would go on until the end of Ramadhan,doing bits by bits at spare time..such as at night after all the other essentials business has been attended to..
Having gone through the process of spring cleaning thoroughly...I remember something about going the extra mile.What I am basically doing is going extra mile for the family and myself...of course the easiest and simplest way to do this would be, to get on the phone and get or hire someone to do it...but I prefer to do it my own for many reasons,one being that the other party is not willing to go the extra mile despite extra payment!

What exactly is going the extra mile?It means the rendering of more and better service than that for which one is paid and giving it in a positive mental attitude.
Whenever I am dealing with other people,I could sensed whether they are sincere in what they are doing or just thinking about the reward at the end of the month...I used to tell them to work from the heart..because if one is sincere in one's dealings, one is prepared to go the extra mile anytime anywhere..you are doing it because you love it..it could be anything like treating patient, governing the office,collecting the toll or even cleaning the house..lots of people leave cleaning of the house to maids, be it live in or hired on hourly basis..but I find that many of them are not doing the job from the heart...not sincere and just doing 'The Job',therefore I was never satisfied with their finished product..
I rather do the cleaning myself...tiring but satisfaction guaranteed!

work as if you have no need of the money...
love as if nobody ever made you suffer...
dance as if no body is watching you...
sing as if nobody is hearing you...
live as if the paradise is here on earth...

Until my next posting, serve humanity by being genuine and authentic, live with passion and take care.
