We all love to celebrate victories. It is a signal that someone has hit a special mark, even a milestone. But, what exactly does it take to hit a mark and to hit it with excellence so that you finish gracefully.

For sure, hitting the mark of excellence takes conscious effort. It is easy to exercise little effort that will lead to mediocrity, at best. But, hitting the mark of excellence requires that you go above and beyond the call of duty.

“Excellence is never an accident. It is the result of high intention, sincere effort and intelligent execution.” Aristotle

You are not going to hit the mark by accident.

You are going to hit the mark because you set out with everything in you to hit it. To ensure the highest quality, you must purpose in your heart that you will give only your best to bring your assignment to fruition.
