Embracing Excellence

By Ingozi M. Bernard

Although only a few attain to it, Excellence is the heart desire of all, with the difference existing between us being in the level of excellence that we apply ourselves to. Only those who give themselves to better attainment in life can improve on their status. The quest for excellence is inborn, which is why no human being celebrates failure.
Excellence is the only life force that compels you to greater riches by demanding higher standards for your personality. It is impossible to excel in life and retain a poor personality. With excellence as a guide post, there is inevitable character development and hence personal improvements that makes one a point of reference among men.
Excellence gives you a high class among many without you suppressing any! You stand out in the midst of greatness since your excellence is an internal system that displays itself on your externals. What you are in your inside is all we see on your outside and hence we marvel on how you achieve where many have failed.
Excellence makes you a sign and wonder in the sight of men, without showing off from your part! With the deepest humility you celebrate your highest attainments. The mystery of excellence makes you attractive and magnetic towards people without your knowledge of the same.
It compels men to follow you without your invitation. It makes a leader out of you, without any need to recruit followers. This is what these pages carry to your life. May you have an irrecoverable encounter with excellence! Read, Digest and Excel in Jesus Name, Amen.

Introduction

Although only a few attain to it, Excellence is the heart desire of all, with the difference existing between us being in the level of excellence that we apply ourselves to. Only those who give themselves to better attainment in life can improve on their status. The quest for excellence is inborn, which is why no human being celebrates failure.

None of us has ever attended a party to celebrate failed deals, examinations or broken lives. The worst of our days are wrapped in the bad news of our missing the mark! The reality of being viewed as a failure strips one of dignity and self-respect. Hence the pursuit for excellence remains the only power behind greater attainment and all round success.

Excellence is the only life force that compels you to greater riches by demanding higher standards for your personality. It is impossible to excel in life and retain a poor personality. With excellence as a guide post, there is inevitable character development and hence personal improvements that makes one a point of reference among men.

And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is? And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath showed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art: Thou shall be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.

(Genesis 41:38-40)

Excellence gives you a high class among many without you suppressing any! You stand out in the midst of greatness since your excellence is an internal system that displays itself on your externals. What you are in your inside is all we see on your outside and hence we marvel on how you achieve where many have failed.

Excellence makes you a sign and wonder in the sight of men, without showing off from your part! With the deepest humility you celebrate your highest attainments. The mystery of excellence makes you attractive and magnetic towards people without your knowledge of the same.

It compels men to follow you without your invitation. It makes a leader out of you, without any need to recruit followers. This is what these pages carry to your life. May you have an irrecoverable encounter with excellence!

Chapter One

Understanding Excellence

Thriving in the school of excellence demands a proper understanding of the same. It is this understanding that forms the bedrock of genuine
