And Then Some Speech
From AndThenSomeWorks.com


The “And Then Some” philosophy is a simple “life enhancement tool” that when applied personally can help focus, motivate, and enrich your life.  No matter what your beliefs, no matter at what stage of life you are, and no matter where you are in this world, with the confidence of “And Then Some” you no longer need to accept the “status quo.”  This philosophy will reduce your apprehension of the “unknown,” and it will motivate you to learn, experience, develop, and grow with the wonderful, natural side effect of helping others.

As you see the positive results from the “And Then Some” life, it generates an excited energy that inspires you to “dive in,” attack problems, find solutions, and deal with the “unknown.”  This “life enhancement tool” is one that encourages you to take responsibility for your actions, your personal world, and the world around you.  Through the “And Then Some” philosophy you will discover infinite possibilities!

With an And Then Some” attitude you can teach yourself a new approach, a new outlook, and a new zest for life.  It will help you look at life differently than you previously did.  As you apply “And Then Some” you will notice how even the smallest things — opening a door for someone, offering a smile, or saying “Hello” to a stranger — are richer, truer, and more satisfying everyday.

The best way to put the “And Then Some” philosophy into practice at once is to learn for yourself what “And Then Some” means to you.  Going beyond what is expected is just scratching the surface.  Here’s the formula: “And Then Some” knowledge - PLUS - “And Then Some” experience - PLUS - “And Then Some” confidence - EQUALS -  “And Then Some” REWARDS!

The single place where “And Then Some” can make a major difference throughout your life, can be found in this challenge: “Become a sponge for knowledge.”  You will be amazed by the amount of new information, new avenues, new paths, new knowledge that will inspire you, motivate you, and  take you to places you have never thought possible.  The “And Then Some” approach never allows any opportunity, any experience, or any encounter to be an educational vacuum.  

When your mind is set on fire you will always find ways to provide more fuel!

It is your choice to either avail or deny yourself the opportunity of “And Then Some.”  But why would you choose to deny it?  The philosophy is easy to put into practice.  The more you feed  “And Then Some,” the more it will continue to enrich your life with each step forward.  Discovering this, the world becomes your classroom, and every stimulus in the world becomes a prompt, an incentive, an impulse to stretch your mind by defining and redefining what “And Then Some” means  to you.  The more you see the positive influences in your life through  “And Then Some” the more excited you become and the more “And Then Some” you will want.

“And Then Some” can help turn negative things into learning situations.  Known and previously unknown opportunities will emerge helping you enhance your skills, whatever they are.  Will every idea work?  Will every situation be perfect?  Of course not.  But more often than not, you’ll realize over and over the benefits and rewards of the “And Then Some” philosophy.  Though difficult at times, you never know what strategy will inspire, what avenue will motivate, what path will influence, what idea will energize, or where true inspiration lies.  You give more with the “And Then Some” philosophy, but you get so much more in return.  Do not deny yourself “And Then Some!”

Applying “And Then Some” to your personal life means accepting your need to destroy the mind set — the prison — into which you lock yourself.  All of your previous behaviors — your habits and routines — bind you, keep you secure, and hold you back.  The obvious cliché is “Don’t upset the apple cart,” but if you don’t upset the cart, the apples are going to rot anyway, and you’ll end up with a life of cleaning up the messes that rotten apples leave behind.

What is the most normal response when your teachers, family, friends, relationship partners hold you back or ignore or even flat out reject your efforts to shed your old skin and adopt a new philosophy?  They try to pull you back in, back to the safe, secure, old you.  Don’t let them.  Instead, press on and realize your potential!  Do not deny yourself “And Then Some!”

We all want the best out of life.  We all want to be healthy and happy and to have things that can enrich our life experience.  Oliver Wendell Holmes said: “a mind stretched by a new idea never returns to its original form,” but to truly stretch means we must leave our current comfort zone and reject the “status quo.”  No matter what our beliefs, at what stage of life we are, or where we are in this world, the “And Then Some” philosophy—this “life enhancement tool” — can enrich our life through learning, developing, growing, and, in addition, pushing, shoving, and even kicking us into doing a little bit more.  With “And Then Some” our lives will awaken to the joy of real living, the joy of knowing we’ve contributed, the joy of being truly informed, the joy of knowing we have really come to know ourselves — the joy of what “And Then Some” is all about.

It’s up to us and us alone!  Socrates said, “The unexamined life is not worth living.”  We have to want to discover, explore, find out, and challenge our selves and our lives.  We have to confront who we are and what we want to become.  “And Then Some” is worth it.  It is worth the commitment, worth the time, and worth the effort!

Here’s the formula again: “And Then Some” knowledge - PLUS - “And Then Some” experience - PLUS - “And Then Some” confidence - EQUALS -  “And Then Some” REWARDS!
