Finding and living out your passion in life!

Excellence - overrated or integr8ed? What does it mean to be “excellent”? Why isn’t mediocre good enough. Well, in some instances it may be but if we are to become the people we were designed to be then we should embrace an attitude of excellence. 

The root of excellence is excel which means to rise up or surpass. You might ask, “what are we rising up from?” We are rising up from all the things in this world that say, You can’t do it; you’re not good enough, smart enough, pretty enough; You’ll never amount to anything; If people knew who you really are, no one would listen to you, follow you, buy from you, be your friend. 

Living excellently or exhibiting excellence in your workplace, your home, in your community or place of worship means rising above the negativity found in those places and offering your best. It’s true that sometimes our best falls short, but when it does we have two choices; we can feel defeated or we can learn from our failure, grow from them and use them to our advantage in the future. 

Excellence is not a competition against the world to be the best or the greatest. It’s the process of becoming a more integrated person; someone who is giving their best to become a whole, healthy person or organization. Do you value excellence in your life or is good enough, good enough? Who do you really want to be remembered as?
