HOW DO WE APPLY IT?

All these above are the foundation of excellent thinking. But what can we do practically to change the way we think? How we do it to ensure that our right thinking will lead to right behaviour and methods?

When we think correctly, our methods will be correct. It is crucial for you to know that excellence is not the same as extremism. Just because God expects you to be excellent, He doesn’t expect you to be an extremist. Setting high standard for yourself is good but demanding perfectionism is being extremist. Perfectionism is different from excellence. Perfectionism does not allow for mistake. Each time, it is not good enough and you blame yourself for not getting it right. Being an extremist can lead to depression, being suicidal and low self-esteem. This is not excellence. (more…)

Excellence Is To Outdo Yourself Each Time

Some people mistakenly expect that after they become a Christian, God will show them special favours. They think that the teachers will be less strict with their papers so they pray that God please help their teachers to be blind, even if the answer is wrong, the teacher will mark it correct. Some teachings may say that if you are a Christian, all things will be successful and you will have no problems in life. It will be bliss. Do you think this is favour? Let me tell you. It doesn’t work that way in life. In fact, it is the other way round. Now that you are a Christian, you have all the resources in your hands that you didn’t have before. You now have the word of God and the Holy Spirit to guide you. You have the power of prayer. You have the wisdom from heaven above to draw upon for James said that those who lack wisdom can ask of God freely and it will be given to you freely without reproach. (more…)

Excellence Is To Transcend Your Job Description

An average person says “this is not my job. I am not paid to do this. I don’t care.” But an excellent person says “I am here to provide the best possible service to my client or to my employer. Even if I am not paid to do this, I will do it for the sake of the customer. I will do it for my company. I’ll go an extra mile for them.” (more…)

2. Demand On Your Time

To achieve success for your dream, you got to pay the price of time. For you to serve in a ministry in church, you have to give up some time to serve. To get a degree in your studies, it will demand time from you from other things. Many times, you will hear people say “I don’t have time to learn. I don’t have time to do this and that.” But time, can be defined as a current of events. So time management is simply event management. If you can manage the event in your life well, you can manage time well.

1. Demand On Your Heart

Proverbs 4:23 says “keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.” It didn’t say keep your money or your pocket with all diligence. It says keep your heart for out of it spring issues and it means the geographical boundary of your life. How far you will go in life is always a matter of the heart. It is a matter of your eternal belief and attitudes. If you have a dream, your heart will be called in pursuit to fulfil your dream. High achievers are people with a deep emotion well inside of them. They are not only able to motivate other people, they also able to motivate themselves. When they are disappointed, they are able to pick themselves up. They have this great reservoir of emotional capacity within them to keep on going even if the road is tough. When they meet with problems, accusations, and criticisms from people, they have this ability to draw within their hearts to keep going again and again. In life, everything we do, there will always be disappointments. But how do we become successful, and be a high achiever? The bible uses the word “overcomer”. We are to be an overcomer. Something comes at us, we overcome it. Overcomers are people with excellent thinking. It is their attitudes in life that distinguish them from other people. (more…)
