“The quality of your life will be determined by the depth of your commitment to excellence, no matter what your chosen field is”
~VINCE LOMBARDI
Resolve today to be the very best at what you do. Set a goal for yourself to join the top 10 percent of your field, whatever it is.
Being very good at what you do, can be the turning point in your life. Virtually all successful people are recognized as being extremely competent in their chosen fields.
Remember that no one is better than you, and no
one is smarter than you. And everyone who is in the top 10 percent today started in the bottom
10 percent. Everyone who is doing well once did poorly. Everyone who is at the top of his or her
field was at one time in another field altogether. and what countless others have done, you can do as well.
Here is a great rule for success: Your life only gets better when you get better. And since there is no limit to how much better you can become, there is no limit to how much better you can make your life.
Your decision to become excellent at what you do,
to join the top 10 percent in your field is the turning point in your life. It is the key to great success. It is also the foundation of high levels of self-esteem, self-respect, and personal pride. When you are good at what you do, you feel wonderful about yourself.
Being excellent affects your whole personality and all your relationships with other people. You feel happy and proud when you know you are at the top of your field.
You cannot become good at everything right away,
but you can identify the one skill that can help you the most and then throw your whole heart into developing that skill.
ACTION EXERCISE:
Identify your key result areas in your current job. What are the parts of
your work that you must absolutely, positively perform excellently to move to the top of your
field? Where are you strong and where
are you weak? Make a plan today to
get better in the one skill area where
improvement can help you the most.
