strive for excellence

“Success is dangerous,” said Picasso. “One begins to copy oneself, and to copy oneself is more dangerous than to copy others. It leads to sterility.” Sorry to start your horoscope with a warning, Leo, especially given how much beautiful success you’ve generated recently. But the astrological omens suggest you may soon be tempted to turn your spontaneous outpourings into pat formulas. And that would be a shame. There’s still a lot more fresh hot mojo brewing within you, and it’ll reach its highest expression if it keeps surprising you. Trust what’s fresh, uncategorizable, and at the frontiers of your understanding.

I think this is a lifestyle. A decision you come to one day that can change your life, as long as you keep at it. If a person applies this in every aspect of their life, limits fall away. To me, doing the absolute best with what I’ve got is a top priority these days.

I really do try to strive for excellence though, so I don’t think I’m lying by saying I’ve done it. I believe that if you’re going to take the time to do something, you might as well do it to the best of your ability, and I live by that belief and uphold it through my actions in day to day life. I strive for excellence, and at all costs I avoid doing a “half-ass” job (a phrase passed on to me from my mother, lol).

If you’re doing something, anything, why not try your best? Why not give 100%? I tried to find an answer to this question and couldn’t, so now I want to do it. I don’t want to be the best at everything, but I want to do my personal best at everything, because there’s really no reason not to besides having a bad attitude or being lazy.

its oh so easy to sit back and let things happen. why do it? surely your better off enriching your life and the lives of those around you by trying to improve, be a better person, be better at your job or get one you can grow in. get fitter, read a book, read another, put the xbox back in box and getout and achieve and develop, just a little every day make a life times difference.
