Michaelangelo's Sistine Chapel Ceiling Painting
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.
Are you lazy? Do you bite your nails? Do you have an addiction or some bad habit you are trying to break? Did you realize that you truly are what you repeatedly do? "So a man thinks in his heart, so he is." Basically that means if you think it so much, you'll start believing it in your heart & then it becomes a part of you, forming a habit, so to speak. Why not practice NOT being lazy? Why not pinch yourself everytime you bite your nails or do something else that shows how conterproductive your bad habit really is! If you do that, you'll begin to realize that this bad habit can be kicked!
If you aren't one of those bad habit people, then have you tried to strive for excellence? It will not fall into your lap! It will not look for you; you have to look for it! How do you look for excellence, you ask? Well, it's simple. Practice! Make seeking and reaching for excellence a part of your daily routine! Do everything you do to the best of your ability! You'll find that you make yourself proud and sooner or later you'll be more successful than you ever thought possible. Don't be fooled in thinking success comes as a monetary value! Excellence is a reward far more fulfilling than any money can ever be!
