Experiencing the power of Excellence.


striving for excellenceExcellence is something that many crave to aspire towards but few accomplish because it takes perseverance, a strong determination and accountability.  Too often self-pride, a strong ego and wrong motivation tarnish people’s goals and damage their pursuits as it opens the wrong doors due to poor choices.

Excellence is not about trying to be perfect.  That is an illusion.  Excellence is the gradual repetition of a defined act or a series of actions that will eventually open the way to your achievement(s).

Those who exhibit the attribute of excellence are.
1.         Those who are willing to listen intently at the messages they receive so as to make sure they don’t miss anything.
2.          They use their intelligence to seek answers as they maintain a controlled emotional balance in all encounters.
3.          They plan their time wisely and set themselves up for success. 
4.         They keep their positive energy level high, that is their physical and mental state, and monitor their activities so as not to become overly exhausted and then of little worth.
5.         They have a clearly defined vision and purpose and work towards their intended commitment with enthusiasm.
6.         They never give up but rather continue to push forward knowing that they will reach their desired goal because they are passionate about what they do.
7.         They are never afraid to ask questions, seek new ways and possibilities and look for ways of learning from others.

 Aristotle put it this way: “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”


We all make mistakes, we frequently have weak moments and turn our thoughts towards negative behavior but in spite of all of that, we can, each one of us achieve our level of excellence in our lives as long as we continually strive to be the best that we can be on a daily basis.
