"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit." ~Aristotle
As you can see from my side bar, I collect quotes. A Facebook friend posted this gem a while back and I immediately wrote it down. I liked it alot.
This thought is reassuring to me in a way. Like, people aren't born with excellence - they achieve it. It's not a gift that a lucky few have been bestowed with. Anyone is capable of excellence. Even me.
So the lesson is that whatever it is that you desire to be excellent at - whether it be running, singing, baking bread, or underwater basketweaving - with perserverance, dedication, and a good measure of grit (for nothing worth having comes easily), you too can be EXCELLENT.
And who doesn't want that??
