With Excellence

I was privileged to sit in a seminar once that reminded me that every day we write our autobiography, our book. We do this by the things we do - it's not what I say I'll do; it is what I do that matters. And, every day we are showing our loved ones, our employers, our coworkers, our friends, our neighbors, our world who we are and what we truly believe by the way we live.

Obviously, there are a few chapters that I would like to go back and rewrite, but, alas, that is not an option. EVER. We get one chance to write our story, one day at a time. There will be days when the story is going perfect and everything is positive and wonderful but, then, some plot twist, either created by us or this world, takes the story in a different direction.

Today's word is an anonymous quote I came across that reminds me that others are watching: "Every job is a self-portrait of the person who does it. Autograph your work with excellence."

I allow myself to be distracted from time to time. I allow myself to get bogged down with the mundane at times. I have allowed myself to be less than excellent on many occasions. But, I shouldn't. Why? Because, there are others that are watching me write my story, and they need to see me doing my very best and striving for excellence.

Please pray for me to always do everything with a sense of excellency. Not so others will sing my praises but so that they will know that I serve the King of kings and the LORD of lords. I want to serve Him faithfully and fully, with excellence.

Be Blessed,
Mickey T
