Extra Mile Day is celebrated on November 1 of every year. It was created to realize the capacity to build positive change in ourselves, our relatives, our companies, and our societies when we “go the extra mile.” It is a special day to commemorate the individuals and the organizations in the local communities that go the extra mile to make a difference. The day also encourages us to renew our commitment to go the extra mile in our effort, service, and volunteerism.
“If you want to succeed at any job, make yourself invaluable. Go the extra mile; make them never be able to imagine what life without you there would be like.” – Ross Mathews
History of Extra Mile Day
In 2009, The Extra Mile America Foundation created this day (a non-profit organization that promotes positive action and a positive attitude toward people) to encourage citizens from all walks of life to live a fulfilling, self-directed lifestyle that doesn’t constrain their potential. It allows them to at least go the extra mile to achieve that target or goal they have always wanted. Now, the day is observed by more than 220 mayors in the United States. On this day, organizations, institutions, and individuals will put their foot forward to ensure that peoples live better life. Hence, it is a perfect day for you to create a positive influence on society and do your best to make the world the safest place and a better place for others.
