100DC Day 22: Extend Your Reach

100 Day Challenge: Extend Your Reach

Making big strides towards your goals means doing things differently than you’ve done in the past. Expanding your comfort zone makes these strides possible.

When looking where you can extend your reach in the world, consider how you can do the following areas of your life and a few suggestions:

  • Expand Intellectual Ability
    read classic literature, learn a new language, study a topic of interest in depth
  • Extend Physical Limits
    lift weights, eat a vegan diet, run a marathon
  • Create Fun
    get involved in a new hobby, learn a new joke every day, do something you haven’t done since you were young
  • Strengthen Family
    plan a family vacation, create a weekly game night, date your spouse
  • Create Friendships
    get together with your high school buddies, join a club or group, take cookies to your neighbors
  • Serve Community
    tutor at a local school, pick up trash in your city, serve at a local senior center
  • Excel in Your Career
    find a mentor in your field, keep up on latest  research, show up early every day
  • Generate More Value
    take a class to improve your skills, find ways to reduce manufacturing costs and reduce prices for your customers, lean management skills to better direct your employees
  • Forge a Strong Spiritual Foundation
    read scriptures daily, pray, carefully consider the principles you will live by


Creating the life you dream of requires acceleration. Going with the flow doesn’t work for most of us because our “flow” is just too slow. Look at your life and see how you can nudge the results out of the current stream and kick it into high gear. Finding ways to extend what you’re already doing is the ticket to success.
