Excellence is built by going against your nature. All humans come into this world self centered and other controlling. This is our nature. Excellence is achieved when we flip ourselves on our proverbial head and move toward becoming CORE centered and self controlling. Now this move cannot guarantee greatness. Many have become CORE centered and self controlling and slipped into the abyss anyway. Pride comes before the fall, right?
So, friend, it matters a great deal what you believe (worldview), the names you call yourself (identity), and the principles that guide you. It’s up to you to channel your love to’s (passions) and not leave them unbridled, running rampant. It’s on each of us to discover purposes and use them for the greater good, not just our own. And none of this is an event. We don’t build a better nature over a retreat, seminar, or in a moment of pure enlightenment. We build a better nature with a million baby steps, taken one at a time. We’re all a WIP (work in process).
You were born self centered, friend. Are you building a second nature? Are you becoming CORE centered and self controlling? Are you seeking happiness and soft soap or getting down and dirty in search of truth, love, and goodness. God, help me leave my selfish nature a bit more today. God, help me.
Live hard. Love harder…
