“Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way.”
Booker T. Washington
How you do anything is how you do everything.
Can you take pride in the monotonous?
Can you do your best when doing the seemingly unimportant?
Our life’s purpose will evolve over time.
Sometimes, it’s very early in the journey for us.
We think we should be further along.
We think we should be doing something more “important” or grandiose.
The truth is, we are where we are.
We must do our best work with the task at hand.
Only in doing that can we ever get to the next stage in life.
Develop a habit of excellence in the small things.
Don’t worry, they will compound over time.
