Committed to excellence

Imagine what the world would be like if each of us made a daily commitment to practice excellence in all that we do. We would need to begin by personally defining what excellent means and how it would look. Think of the last time you demonstrated excellence. It was likely coming from a place of knowing that you were sharing your skills and talents without attaching false pride to it. Each person involved left the exchange with positive thoughts and feelings knowing that the greatest good had been served. To understand the nature of excellence ask yourself, "What can I do to be of the highest service to myself and others? What would serve to elevate the well-being of all involved?" Think of the effect that this approach would have if it was adopted by every person in public office, every teacher, every parent, every health care provider. Think of someone you already know who lives by this standard of excellence. Perhaps it might even be yourself. Remember that excellence does not require perfection. It only requires that you constantly improve in your dedication to this principle. How can you show your commitment to excellence today?
