Why not make excellence your habit?
Imagine leading a life that is truly filled with excellence. It’s been said mediocrity is the enemy of excellence. Simply meaning either one can become powerful habitual pattern of your life. The moment you begin to accept mediocrity in yourself or others you influence, that will become the habit. If you demand excellence in attitude, performance and results, from yourself and others, that is what you will get and experience as well. Whichever you choose, will become your habit. Why? Because anything that is done repeatedly, over and over again, become habit.
Visualize a life of excellent, health, wealth and happiness. Excellent health would give you greater energy to train and do the things you want to do each day and allow you to accomplish more each and every year, looking and feeling fit, toned and flexible, with energy to burn. Excellence in wealth would free you from financial worry and concern, allowing you more choices and opportunities for learning, growing, achieving and having more fun in life. Excellence in happiness would mean that you are happy with what you are doing, where you are going, and the relationships and people you are surrounded by every day. You’d have excellent friends, co-workers and a happy family life as well. You’d be smiling, singing, whistling, humming and/or laughing every day.
This is what happens when you develop habits of excellence in your life. Start today by committing yourself to step up your game. Decide right now that you are going to do everything you do better. You can start by developing an attitude of excellence. Give excellent polite greetings and do excellent training and practice everything with a new desire to be excellent at all you do. Have an excellent smile and share it with as many people as you can. Strive for excellent results in everything you do. Go the extra mile to create a better outcome in every area of your life.
Habits we train…are habits we gain. Like any habit, we must first decide and then we must take action…massive action, with conviction, commitment and follow through. It takes time and repeated actions to anchor in any new habit.
