Excellence

 This post is dedicated to every young man who has spent hours, days, or even months pondering how to approach the girl who has rendered him speechless.

"What?"



"What?" she asks when you finally muster the courage to do it.

"No!"

She didn't even think about it or pause to consider it.

It could get worse; this could be followed by a "Heck, No!" or a "Get away, creep!"



Oh, the agony that erupts suddenly throughout your entire body.

You've been humiliated.

You'd fall into a nearby hole and die instantly.

My Story of "No!"

This particular story may not appeal to everyone.
However, everyone has a story about working extremely hard on a project or pouring all of their energy and passion into it only to be rejected.
Ouch!
You could be a salesperson, an artist, a student, a pastor, or a project manager.
We all have at least one story about pouring time, love, passion, energy, and possibly even money into creating something or reaching out to people only to be rejected by the person for whom it was intended.


Deep dive


When this happens, all you want to do is give up, quit, die, and crawl back into a hole.

Do it!

 

Yes,Do it!


Quit!


Die!


Enter the hole!

Without hesitation, do it.

However, with the intention of healing.

Find a safe place to go where you can process your emotions rather than storing them for later.

remove it from your system

If Required

Find someone you can rely on to listen if necessary.

Someone with whom you can discuss it.

Come out and explore Deeper.

Come out stronger and more courageous after you've healed.

What is the worst that can happen if you have already died?

The death in question is a metaphor.

It is psychological, emotional, and spiritual.

Death can no longer frighten you if you are already dead.

Once you have reached the end and returned, you will let go of fear and recognize that death is not to be feared.
It is something from which you can recover.


You must overcome your fear of death, my friend.


The death we are referring to is the acceptance of the fact that you have no control over the actions of others.
The realization that you are completely in control of your response is the source of strength in this.


To overcome your fear of death, my dear friend.
You must dig deep within yourself.
Search deeper, consider more options, become more creative, and strive to be better than you were before.

This process of getting better and self improvement is called Excellence.

Avoid Perfection

 Meeting a common standard is what I defines perfection.

Perfection is limiting because it has a limit.
Once you've accomplished it, there's no turning back.


Because you are constantly improving, excellence has no bounds.


Everyone is capable.


Everyone can get better.
Excellence is about developing yourself for your own sake.
You are not attempting to impress anyone.
You're also not comparing yourself to anyone else.


You can pour everything into a project, working with all your love and passion to create a flawless work or result.
And what if someone doesn't like it?
It simply means that your efforts were not appealing to that person and did not elicit the desired response.

But...

But stop.
Heal.
Once you've recovered.
Restart the challenge.
Perhaps you should shift your focus to a more diverse audience.
Increase your fan base.


Discover your true supporters.
Discover your true love.


Remember that in your pursuit of excellence, you will face rejection.


Choose to respond progressively with love.

Shalom!
