Excellence . . . . is a Habit

By
Education & Training with Ludwig & Associates

Excellence . . . . is a Habit 

If you are going to achieve excellence in big things,

you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence

is not an exception, it is prevailing attitude.”

Colin Powell, Former Secretary of State,

Retired 4 Star General

 

 

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Excellence . . . . a habit

 

Developing the habit of excellence . . . . is not an achieved overnight. It’s a goal . . . . It’s a process . . . . and something that you continuously strive for . . . . work at until you develop the habit of excellence.  

 

It takes a commitment of your time . . . . and in your effort to be the best that you can be . . . . And to do the things that you do with excellences.  

 

Excellence starts with the commitment mastering the little details in your life with excellences . . . . In time you will build the habit of excellence in all of the things you do.

 

Excellence becomes the standard that you measure yourself . . . . and your actions by.

 

Once you form the habit of excellence . . . . and apply that habit to all the things you do. Excellence becomes routine in every aspect of your life.

 

Excellence . . . . is a habit . . . . in your attitude to do your best. Not to compromise yourself . . . . or your efforts to achieve nothing less a standard of excellence.   

 

Excellence . . . .is a habit . . . . of setting high standards . . . . and then meeting . . . . and or exceeding those standards.

Congrats on a well deserved feature. Excellence can become a regular thing if you choose to make it so. And focussing on the details cam make all the difference - sometimes they ARE more important, and are what people remember.

Very well stated. Small steps add up. (Like ActiveRain points!) And habits - good and bad - become automatic.

Love the part that 'it's in the detail'.  I refer to as this as it's the seemingly 'small things' that people remember and makes me feel good about doing them and ourselves in the process.  And BTW--this was especially pertinent for my Friday morning reading!  Thanks for posting and congratulations on your feature!
