Your Life By Design

Committing to a life of Excellence

What does it mean to commit your life to excellence? Today, I was listening to my Everything Counts app and lesson 22 is Excellence Counts. I believe committing your life to excellence means continuously bettering and challenging yourself. As a young woman I challenge myself daily, whether it is to complete a set of tasks or run a faster speed on the treadmill. Each day I set a task for myself and I try my very best to complete it. Living a life of excellence means aiming to be the best version of yourself every single day.

When committing to a life of excellence it is important to remember that it is all about you. You aren’t competing with anyone else but yourself. It is up to you to top your own personal best.  We often get caught up with competing with others which is a battle we may never win. Each one of us has lived a unique life, we have faced different challenges along the way, had our own experience of failures and successes. Unless you have successfully lived the life of another, shared all their life experiences and learnt all the lessons they have learnt, you can never expect to be the same.

Here are 5 tips to start committing your life to excellence

  1. Understand that you are your only competition: This will help you to keep focused on your own progress and not be distracted or discouraged by others.
  2. Develop a motto for yourself, mine is “Live a life that inspires others.”: This should be short and you should question if your actions stay true to your motto, if not, adjust accordingly.
  3. Set mini-challenges for yourself daily: This will keep you on your toes and ensures that you are constantly improving and moving forward.
  4. Eliminate the word can’t from your vocabulary: Your biggest obstacle is yourself instead of saying “I can’t” say “I will try” and mean it.
  5. Give 110% everyday
All the best on committing your life to excellence and striving to be the best you.
