Making Good Habits, Breaking Bad Habits: Chapter 10

"God is excellent and we are created in his image; therefore, if we are to reach our full potential in him, we must also choose to be excellent." 

                                          -Joyce Meyer

Chapter 10 talks about excellence. We should strive for excellence when it comes to everything in our lives. Joyce Meyer explains the difference between being excellent and being perfect. If you are living your life trying to be perfect, you are going to end up disappointed, upset and miserable. One of the reasons why people procrastinate is because they are striving to be perfect. They hold off on doing a task because they want to make sure that they are doing is 100% perfect. Now, excellence is doing your very best, then allowing God to do the rest. Joyce Meyer gave the readers a couple of great ideas when starting to live an excellent life. One idea was to post the word "excellence" in 5 different places that you are around so that you can remind yourself to work on being excellent. The second idea was to wake up and say every single day "I do what I do with excellence." Starting tomorrow, I am going to apply both of those ideas to my life and see how much my attitude and my life changes. God has so many excellent plans for our lives so let's work on being excellent for him!
