The excellence problem

The problem with committing to excellence is that people expect excellence from you. This is a problem worth having.

We often create mediocre things because we don’t want the responsibility of standing out, yet holding back and settling in this way will always leave us feeling unfulfilled.

When expectations are high, you may miss them sometimes, and that’s ok. You can use the tension of the gap to help you grow. When others don’t meet your expectations, you can love them instead of judging them to help them grow.

Where can you love yourself and others enough to embrace the problem of excellence?
