With the right attitude, you can do almost anything. The question is, do you want to make the effort to turn average into excellent? Where in your life can you make this happen? And seeing the change in one area can help spur you to improve in others as well.

That is for sure. Even though I still - at times - doubt myself it’s my attitude that propels me forward.

Good evening my friend and sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.
Heavenly Father, everything YOU do is excellence. YOUR WORD is eternal and sufficient for each and every need. We desperately need wisdom, discernment and grace to have excellent thoughts which we could share with those we love. Help us to diffuse tension and bring happiness to those who are down trodden.
“All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. [2 Timothy 2: 16-17 NASB]
Give us excellence of thought to share with whoever YOU know needs to be uplifted, encouraged, and/or diverted from a bad path.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good morning Mikel and all of RallyPoint! Excellence is an attitude. One of my favorite quotes on excellence is this:
“If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as a Michaelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, 'Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.
Have a great day all!

Good Morning COL. "Excellence Day"....
