Excellence

What do you get when you:
-Care more than others think is wise?
-Risk more than what others think is safe?
-Dream more than others think is practical?
-Expect more than others think is possible?
You get the focus of todays thoughts, Excellence!

Excellence is not a skill though, it is your attitude.

You can decide at anytime to become excellent. All you have to do is figure out what you want to be excellent in and go after it.

You don't have to worry about getting it right at first, just get it going. Learn from the mistakes that you make and apply what you learn to avoid making the same mistakes. Remember, the only real mistake that you can make is the one that you don't learn from.

There are all sorts of educational programs and seminars out there that can help you to strive for and achieve excellence. The cost of some of these programs ranges anywhere from a few dollars to a few thousand dollars. Do some research, find one you like and plug yourself in so that you can expedite the process of becomming excellent.

Life is too short to be mediocre. You were put here for a reason, and that reason is to become excellent at what you love to do and share that with the world. Don't sell yourself short by telling yourself short!
