Musings + Affirmations: My quest for excellence allows me to give my best

Perfection is not attainable,

but if we chase perfection we can catch

excellence.

Affirmation: My quest for excellence allows me to give my best.

I am the first to acknowledge the importance of aiming for excellence in everything I do. I am naturally inclined to give my best in every situation, so excellence is always my goal.

When I am at work, exhaustion and frustration can very easily set in. At these times, it would be understandable if I did less than my optimum work. But instead, I choose to push through with my best efforts. That is when I often achieve excellence.

I know that I can always give one more effort. Each time I push myself, I find myself reaching a little further ahead than before.

I am amazed by what I can do and how far I can go in my quest for excellence. I believe I have every ounce of drive and zeal within me required to reach my desired goals.

Today, I re-commit to giving my best in every situation.

I believe in whole-hearted efforts.

With excellence, the parameters of any goal can be met.

So, the mindset that I will continue to cultivate is that, regardless of the specific task that needs to be accomplished, excellence is the real goal, and that is what I know I can achieve.
