“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence is a habit, not an act.” -Aristotle
“Excellence is one of the most authentic and human experiences there is, and it must be earned. The payoff is a deep internal satisfaction, a genuine self-respect based on effort and competence, a sense of aliveness and resonance that you won’t find anywhere else.
Excellence is also about creating a better world. It is the generative force that leads to scientific breakthroughs, inspiring athletic feats, beautiful creations, and meaningful relationships. When you strive for excellence, you contribute to this universal dance in your own unique way.” -Brad Stulberg, The Way Of Excellence
We’re hardwired to strive for excellence. When we’re in that zone, it’s about the most human and alive we can be.
But it’s also a habit.
Good or bad, our habits make us. We have to choose them.
Will you choose excellence?…The world could sure use it.
