Do you do more than what
is required of you or do you only do what you are obligated to do in order to
get your pay check or meet your obligations? We live in a very competitive world and market place. If you are not improving yourself and
taking steps to grow, you will fall behind. There is always someone out there
who is more competitive than you and more highly driven to reach their
goals. It is your duty to
study ways to learn more, improve your skills more and be the best that you can
be. If you want to be better than
others and be at the top of your game, you need to work at it. There is always room for
improvement. I have discovered
that no matter how much I have learned, as I grow older, I understand there is
still so much more for me to learn and accomplish if I want to fulfill my
greatness.
Don’t you want to be
more effective and productive in your life—possibly even look for ways that you
can better yourself? If you
want to rise to your brilliance, you are the one who must have the spirit of
excellence, the spirit of passion and the spirit of standing outside the box so
that you can and will shine.
Take pride in yourself
and in what God is giving you. Make your gifts and talents work for you. Also
do your best to take care of what you own and what you put on your body. If you want to be appreciated, you,
too, need to appreciate your life, your job and your body; when you do, others
will treat you the way you want to
be treated—with respect and appreciation.
Those who have a spirit
of excellence are a cut above---they want to stand out in the crowd and be
noticed because they have a message to share and a voice to be heard. Don’t walk around with your head low to
the ground instead, stand tall with your shoulders back and be proud of who you
are and what you have become.
Maybe you have always
lived in an environment of mediocrity.
Take the challenge to stand up to a higher level of excellence. Take pride in your physical imagine and
make the time to take care of yourself.
You represent a higher standard and if you don’t then it is time that
you should. When you have the
spirit of excellence you do something not because some one is watching you but
because you know that you are a person who will do the right thing even when no
one is watching. You may even
fight with yourself and feel tired but do it anyway because you are a person of
character.
If you cannot pass the
small test, how do you expect to do bigger and better things? We can always slide through
life, go undiscovered and no one will know the difference except you! Remember what I frequently say: “You
always have choices .” And whether you realize it or not---some one is
watching you and seeing what you are doing, I call that someone your Higher
Self, your Inner Source. I suggest
however not to do something because someone is watching you---do it because you
have chosen to make a decision to be better because you have a spirit of excellence and that spirit
states: “You are not compromising with your life, your time and your
job----you are choosing to outclass your peers.”
Are you distinguishing
yourself and going the extra mile?
If that is something that you want to aspire towards, then I suggest
that you just might need to be more exceptional in the way you treat
people---the way you do your job and the way you behave. When you reach up and stand tall as you
seek a higher standard, God will give you more wisdom, some great ideas and a
healthier attitude for a better life.
Please don’t get lazy and sloppy with your life or with your attitude,
behavior or environment---instead seek a higher standard and live by it. Don’t get stuck in your life but
instead---reach farther and improve your potentiality. And don’t do something just because you
are being watched and observed.
Rise to a higher standard for yourself and perform your tasks because
you want to do the best job that represents you and your spirit of
excellence.
