Beware of stagnation. If you stop moving, absorbing, flowing and thirsting, you will become lifeless. The essence of a good quality of life is newness, production and cultivation. A barren desert is to a meandering river as stagnation is to excellence.
Excellence is not being the best; it is always doing your best and trying your hardest to be a better you. There is a significant difference between knowing excellence and doing excellence. You can recognize when someone is excellent, but being the person who is excellent is a different story. Do excellence.
There are two superlative words that depict excellence: kaizen and auspicious.
Kaizen: A Japanese philosophy meaning “continuous improvement”
Auspicious: Characterized by success
Challenge yourself to not live by the confines of the status quo. Be better. I call this having the case of the “ers”. Bigger, faster, stronger, smarter, longer, happier, wealthier, healthier… whatever is better. Learn to raise the bar and then raise it again. Keep breaking records, continually discover, overturn the next rock, measure and analyze, find innovative solutions, create value, modify techniques and push your limits.
