Jimmy Johnson – Quote of the Day for March 25, 2025

“The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra.“
— Jimmy Johnson

Insights on Today's Quote

We often think being extraordinary means having special talents or doing big, amazing things. But really, it comes down to something much simpler.

Think about the times you’ve noticed someone going above and beyond. Maybe it’s the friend who checks in when you’re having a tough day, or the coworker who stays an extra five minutes to help you finish something. These aren’t huge actions. They’re just small moments when someone decides to give a little more.

Being extraordinary isn’t about being perfect or impressing everyone… It’s about doing a bit extra when you could have stopped at “good enough.” Small gestures matter. Extra effort adds up. And soon, you’re not just ordinary anymore.

So next time you’re tempted to settle, remember that little extra step makes all the difference. You don’t need special gifts or perfect timing. You just need to give a little more than what’s expected.

That’s how ordinary turns into extraordinary.

Your Challenge

Choose one thing you’re doing today—a chore, work task, or conversation—and give it a little extra effort….

If you’re talking to someone, listen a bit more carefully or encourage them a bit more. If you’re doing a task, put a bit more care into it than usual.

At the end of the day, notice how you feel. Chances are, you’ll realize that tiny bit of extra effort made your day more meaningful and even impacted someone else positively.

Ready to give it a try! (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
