Excellence Is Not A Skill, It's An Attitude | Dr. Myles Munroe | Motivation

excellence will cost you what mediocrity will save you excellent people will conquer what average people will complain about most of the people who don't get ahead in life don't because they're too busy complaining about why they can't get ahead in life but an excellent person conquers the things average people complain about excellent people pursue solutions average people stare at problems excellence orchestrates in the mind translates into speech and demonstrates in your life you don't have to ask a person if they are excellent you can tell by the way they dress you can tell by the way they talk to you you can tell by the way they organize what's around them you can tell by the way they order their words when they speak excellence is not imposed from the outside it is released from the inside if you and i are going to be effective leaders and if we're going to inspire people to be excellent they are going to have to see it in our mindset our demonstration of life and in our speech excellent people make improvements not excuses so here are the principles of excellence that every human should know number one don't settle for the average do not settle for the average average is the grave in which excellence is buried average people strive to fit in while excellent people strive to stand out you can never change what you accept you can never change what you refuse to confront if you keep pretending that mediocrity is your best then you will never proceed to excellence you were not born to be an average person this therefore is the challenge we need to inspire people to not settle even when they seem to be successful as a matter of fact the greatest enemy of progress is your last success when you settle on what you've done and believe you've achieved everything you have just begun to die excellent people never settle for the average develop a deep commitment to excellence you will never be excellent until you decide that this is the lifestyle you will have develop a deep commitment to excellence first you should be the best then you will be first in business everybody is trying to be first in the market but that's the wrong pursuit excellent people don't try to be first they try to be excellent michelangelo one day was painting the sistine chapel and you all know the story of michelangelo the most awesome painting in rome people travel all over the world to see this man his painting and you know what michelangelo did right he lie on his back on a scaffold and he painted the entire ceiling of the sistine chapel it's the most beautiful awesome artwork in rome our awesome work one day the story goes it's a true story that michelangelo was painting and one of his aides came in to check on him when he walked into the chapel there were candles everywhere it was dark and musty michelangelo could not be seen and so his friend and carly cried out michael he heard no sound michael are you here he heard some noise in the corner in the dark behind a post up above the nave in the secret corner where no one could see michael and he heard a voice from way in the back underneath the scaffold behind the post up above the ledge in the dark corner of the chapel and the answer came yes i'm busy and the aide came and walked up and looked up in the darkness behind the post way behind the rafters and there's michelangelo on his back with a painting brushing his teeth one in his hand on his palate and he is painting the feathers of one of the little angels in the dark behind the post where no one will ever see his colleague said michael what are you doing up there he said i'm painting the ceiling he said but michael you are putting details on the feather on the wings of an angel in the dark behind the post above the nave beyond the rafters where no one will ever see it why waste your time and without catching a breath michelangelo spoke through the brush in his teeth and said but god sees it he keeps on painting what a spirit of excellence an excellent spirit does not work because people are watching it doesn't work because it will be known excellence comes from a spirit an attitude on the inside see michael was not working for the observation of people he had an integrity with himself he believed that everything he did should be the best he ever done even if no one ever saw it a person of excellence will always possess these two things ethics and integrity you see your gift will carry you where your character won't keep you ethics are moral standards grounded in principles that govern your beliefs and convictions ethics are mental attitudes based on beliefs that control your behavior what you believe manifests how you behave integrity is integration of your words with your behavior what you say and do are supposed to be consistent if you are a person of integrity an excellent spirit is a spirit of what integrity excellence produces trust why because people watch what you say undersea if it equals what you do before they trust you true leaders are people who cause others to trust them because they say what they mean and they mean what they say if you're gonna be a person of excellence in leadership you must integrate your words with your action if you promise someone you're going to give them a call give them the call if you promise someone you're going to meet with their group then do all in your power to show up and be at that meeting because excellence is integrity what you say is what you do and what you do is what you said go the second mile excellence is manifested in people who are not afraid of doing their best responsibility is greater than rights give more than you take from life go the second mile how many people do you know they only do what you ask them to do an excellent spirit always goes beyond the call of duty and beyond the assignment an excellent spirit does not do just because you were told but it does because it believes and it acts go the second mile for excellence be consistent nothing is as frustrating as an inconsistent human you know a few of them don't you you're probably sitting in their shoes right now an excellent person sets high standards for themselves be consistent people forget how fast you do a job but never how good be consistent in your performance always do a job the best you can always manifest the excellency of your attitude in everything you do be consistent never stop improving excellence is a spirit that is never satisfied a person of excellence may be impressed by what they've done but never satisfied with what they've done they are constantly improving excellence is the gradual result of striving to be better excellence is constantly growing if you grow everything will get better ignorance is the greatest enemy of man knowledge is his best friend so the less you know the more you are confused about life the more you learn the more simple life becomes when you stop learning you start losing when you stop growing you start dying always give 100 make excellence a lifestyle do it right the first time all the time mediocrity is a personal trait excellence is a choice like attitude you choose to be excellent [Music] you
