small effort with big results

however you expect yourself to act in a situation,

do yourself a big one + act better than that expectation.

it doesn’t take much to do a little more, fam.

investing a tad bit more time + efforts into what you do can lend to extraordinary results.

today, focus on the ways you can elevate your current actions:

  • say ‘please’ + ‘thank you’
  • substitute ‘you’re welcome’ with ‘it’s been my pleasure’
  • offer to help set up or clean up before or after an event (5-10 minutes is better than nothing 🤷🏾‍♀️)
  • slow down + allow people to pass you or merge onto the road without feeling the urge to speed up to box them out (road ragers, i’m speaking to you 👀)
  • support a friend by spreading the word about their business, liking + sharing their advertisement, +/or otherwise engaging with their content
  • congratulate someone on their efforts
  • listen intently + thank someone for sharing their story
  • take care while plating your food + make your version of art on the plate 
  • encourage + inspire others to live a full + rich life by living a full + rich life yourself
  • say ‘i love you. thanks for being you!’ upon departure +/or at a conversation end with your friends + family

going “above + beyond” is easier to do than most people realize + it completely resets not only the expectations of yourself, but can challenge + potentially change the expectations of others.

do what you do, 

do it with confidence,

do it well, 

+ do it better than you’ve done it before.

be you, be dope!
