ExcellenceMissed

Of course it is!

We fall short of Excellence for two primary reasons:

1) We weren't striving for Excellence in the first place. It's much safer to aim low, stay off the radar, caste blame, not care, give up.

2) We were striving for Excellence, which is a bold, worthy, and illusive undertaking. We may have missed by an inch or even a mile, but at least we were pushing our limits toward betterness. Even those who occasionally do achieve Excellence have an extremely difficult time sustaining it.

Pursuit of Excellence is not for sissies. It is, however, for those who want to be better, to do better, to leave the world a better place than we found it.

Let's roll!
