Section 4: Excellence

• 1 Corinthians 4:20 AMP For the kingdom of God consists of and is based on not talk but power (moral power and excellence of soul).
• Daniel 5:12 AMP Because an excellent spirit, knowledge, and understanding to interpret dreams, clarify riddles, and solve knotty problems were found in this same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation.
• Daniel 6:3 AMP Then this Daniel was distinguished above the presidents and the satraps because an excellent spirit was in him, and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
• Matthew 5:16 AMP Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven.
• 2 Peter 1:3 AMP For His divine power has bestowed upon us all things that [are requisite and suited] to life and godliness, through the [full, personal] knowledge of Him Who called us by and to His own glory and excellence (virtue).
• John 15:2 AMP Any branch in Me that does not bear fruit [that stops bearing] He cuts away (trims off, takes away); and He cleanses and repeatedly prunes every branch that continues to bear fruit, to make it bear more and richer and more excellent fruit.
• 2 Peter 1:5 AMP For this very reason, adding your diligence [to the divine promises], employ every effort in exercising your faith to develop virtue (excellence, resolution, Christian energy), and in [exercising] virtue [develop] knowledge (intelligence),
• Philippians 1:10 AMP So that you may surely learn to sense what is vital, and approve and prize what is excellent and of real value [recognizing the highest and the best, and distinguishing the moral differences], and that you may be untainted and pure and unerring and blameless [so that with hearts sincere and certain and unsullied, you may approach] the day of Christ [not stumbling nor causing others to stumble].
• Philippians 4:8 AMP For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them].

Excellence keeps things clear and concise; it makes and keeps things simpler. Those people that have excellence can take the complex and make it simple, so that their destiny is not cloudy or hard to flow.

They never take the easy way out or try to find shortcuts. They do the right thing and do it right.

A perfectionist is someone who looks at the negative of the situation and dwells on that. A person of excellence is someone who looks at the positive of the situation and dwells on that instead. A person of excellence will have a better attitude toward life because they deal with the positive aspect of live not the negative.

A person of excellence will do their absolute best no matter the situation.

There is greatness in us all; however, to the degree of excellence that you operate in your life will the degree of greatness be exposed in your life. There is also, the opposite; there is mediocrity in our lives and to the degree of excellence we demonstrate will be the degree of mediocrity exposed in our lives. How you live your life, whether in excellence or in mediocrity will determine how far in your destiny you travel.

People of excellence do not have the attitude that everything is someone else’s responsibility. They take responsibility to get things done and to get things done right.

People of destiny of excellence don’t take shortcuts. They do things the right way the first time. The only shortcut is to do it right the first time.

Excellence pushes away average people just as mediocrity pushes away people of excellence.

A person of excellence will invest their life into others. They take others along with them on their destiny journey.

Excellence only comes from doing the right thing, the right way over and over again. It takes practice to be a person of excellence and of destiny.
A person of excellence, of destiny, will never be content or satisfied with status quo; they are always working to do a better job; to improve, to grow, and to change.

Deep down people of excellence, of destiny want to be pushed to be the best that they can possibly be at all times. For excellence is a very important value to develop.

When you have developed a lifestyle of excellence, you do things with excellence without thinking at a moments notice, no question about it.

When you operate in excellence in your work then more work will come your way. People will not ignore excellence; they will give it special attention. So whatever you do, do it with excellence.

When you have developed excellence you keep your cool in heated situations, you keep a positive attitude. A person of excellence is an optimistic person no matter what is happening around them.

When things start going wrong and seems that stuff is falling apart, a person of excellence gets tougher and persists without complaining, making excuses, or stopping.

When you develop a mind set of excellence it improves your image of yourself; your self-esteem will become higher and higher.

A person of excellence has no issue in doing their best, even if no one sees it or if the whole world takes notice of their work.

People of excellence are self-motivated; they don’t require someone to get them pumped up to reach their destiny. People that are satisfied to live a life of mediocrity do not demand anything of themselves.

People of destiny, of excellence are often misunderstood. People that don’t demonstrate excellence or are not fulfilling their destiny do not understand why people of excellence act the way they act.

Make it a habit of excellence to never, ever be late. When you are a person that is continually late, you are saying that your time is more important than the other person’s time.
