It takes just as much effort to live poorly as it does to live with the SPIRIT OF EXCELLENCE. It takes just as much effort to do a job or assignment mediocre as it does to be magnificent. As long as you're going to put in the time and effort, you might as well make it count.
For instance, there are some people who earn a few dollars per hour cooking food, and others who earn millions doing it. The difference is not in the time or effort expended, but rather in the commitment to the SPIRIT OF EXCELLENCE . The minimum wage cook is thinking about what he'll do when his shift is over. The millionaire chef is thinking of ways to improve his food. And they both get exactly what they put into their work. Whatever can be done, can be done better or as I like to say in the SPIRIT OF EXCELLENCE.
Don't think any situation, job or relationship limits you. There is golden opportunities for the SPIRIT OF EXCELLENCE in every situation. Any limitations you have are the result of your own attitude. why not take your personal performance up a few notches. The SPIRIT OF EXCELLENCE could be that little extra you do. Aim a little higher today, and higher yet tomorrow. Think big. Make it count, and make a difference. Your SPIRIT OF EXCELLENCE will shine and your destiny will be closer!
