Excellence In Life Is To Be Admired - Let It Be Your Goal

Is excellence your middle name?

But then you may not view things in this way. You might just see it as giving of your best. Working hard. Overcoming things.

The normal give and take of life. And what is wrong with that?

Not a lot really, but is there more.

We can do things OK. We can do things adequately. We can do things with our eyes shut. We can do things better. We can really try and do things that, for us, excel.

And we can get satisfaction from them all. Just different according the time and the place and the circumstance.

But at times only the best will do and we can realize that. We want to give a bit more. We want to give of ourselves. We want to use our abilities and a bit extra.

And in special moments - rare perhaps or not so rare, we may just not realize - life's grace sweeps us along and we truly excel.

We achieve more than the sum of the parts. We excel. We perform out of our skins. We have a real experience. We feel in tune with life and something really special happens.

A rare moment of distinction occurs. All the facets of our life seem to gel together as one. And something of real merit, real worth manifests.

And we are taken along on a wave. A wave of energy, a wave of vitality. Nothing seems impossible at that moment. The beauty and majesty of life is there - in front of our eyes. In our being. We and life are one.

Excellence occurs.

Time stands still. The impossible becomes possible. The unlikely becomes the norm.

And, whatever the happening or circumstance, we really experience our life in those moments. Stillness. Silence. Energy. Whole. Wholesomeness.

We are carried along on the crest of life's wave.

. . .

And of course this ends.

And we can later reflect. Feel amazement. Feel astonishment. Feel the wonder of life.

Savor those moments. Bathe in those moments. Feel the essence of life in those moments.

And know in those moments or minutes life and ourselves shared a moment of true excellence.
