The document discusses committing to excellence rather than perfection. It notes that many people struggle with seeking perfection and commit to creating perfection instead of obtaining excellence, which can paralyze them and lead to failure. It highlights key points from a talk on continual improvement (Kaizen), including that excellence comes from within, is inspired by experiencing excellence, and is a journey rather than a destination. The document encourages committing to excellence goals with a trusted partner and being unrealistic in order to inspire greatness.

1. Note: This same message subconsciously inspired that
original Facebook post… I realized it when I went back into
my notes. I love it when GOOD WORD gets embedded in
our minds like that… another reminder how important it is
to surround yourself with positive, truth speakers!
#FireMeUp11: Commitment To Excellence

Earlier this week I posted this status update on Facebook:
…and the comments, texts, direct message, and emails I received were f ascinating and heartbreaking all in one.
So many f riends, colleagues and clients shared that they STRUGGLE with seeking perfection. They commit
to creating perf ection, NOT to obtaining excellence. Some even shared that it paralyzes them to the point of
inaction and ultimately creates a self -f ulf illed prophecy of f ailure! Nearly every single person admitted to
committing to the WRONG goal and not realizing it until it was too late. Wow.
Rewind to about a month ago. Pastor Ryan shared an
amazing message, at Champions Centre, surrounding the
word KAIZEN. (Of course, I take notes in Evernote –
EVERYwhere, so below are some highlights on this talk that
I want to share with you.)
KAIZEN = Continual Improvement
Excellence comes f rom within
Excellence comes where it is valued
Excellence is inspired by experiencing excellence
Excellence is a journey, not a destination
Come on now…
Let’s COMMIT to EXCELLENCE together.
Let’s STAY LOYAL to that commitment.
I DARE US.
Who’s with me?
Okay, those of you bold souls who raised your voices to
shout ME!, I am IN… and those of you with your hands wildly waving with participation in the air…
GO – quickly. Find “your” someone… the person you TRUST and RESPECT… and share your “challenge”
with them. Declare what EXCELLENCE GOAL you are both going to commit to and make yourselves
accountable to one another.
Remember, this isn’t about setting SAFE goals…
“THIS is about the “Be UNREALISTIC“ movement… and inspiring yourself to greatness.”

2. I look f orward to seeing what YOU are going to commit to… and why.
… and, as always, if this post Fired You UP and inspired you, I truly appreciate your likes,
comments, and shares with your world.
Cheers!
