What are you searching for in your life? A better relationship? A better career?
I was skimming through the May edition of Enjoying Everyday Life, the monthly magazine by Joyce Meyer Ministries, and I ran across this article from John Maxwell.
Maxwell says we just need a little know-how to get on the path to excellence.
- Find Your Passion
People of excellence love what it is they are doing. The keep moving. Find that passion and keep it. If you’re struggling to find your passion, do an inventory of what you enjoy. What energizes you and makes you feel alive? Take inventory of the things that drain you. Maxwell says, “Exchanging one de-energizing task for another that brings you energy is victory.” - Never Cease Practicing
Passion will never stay intact without practice. You have to perform the skills to perfect the skills. Then make sure you teach someone else that skill. - Honor Your Values
John says, “Passion and practice bring excellence, but character sustains excellence over time.” If you don’t have character, your talents will be wasted.
We aren’t born with excellence. However, determine what your passion is. Put that passion into practice. Honor your values and excellence will be yours.
Are you keeping these know-hows in check?
