Do you wanna be excellent? Be yourself!
It is tempting to give in and to strive for excellence, isn’t it? Every one on this planet wants to be an expert on some topic, wants to be the best, wants to stand out. We cheer on such people who stand out, who reach for the highest good. Who break all limitations ordinary people have. Don’t we all want to be excellent in some way?
But before striving for being excellent in your job, your hobby or your purpose, what about yourself? Are you excellent being yourself? Because no one really can be a better version of yourself, you are the only one who really can be you. That’s why there is a very high rate that you’ll have the chance to be excellent, be the best, be the one.
Have you ever considered to start at yourself and become the best you, you ever can be? Be excellent, be yourself.

It’s unfortunate that most most deny the true expression of themselves in exchange for imitating the people they idolized. Individuality is slowly diminishing in our present time, this I think is the reason most people fall short of excellence.
You are absolutely right about this, we have to be ourselves in order to discover our own excellence.

this is one of humanity’s greatest conflicts…everyone is trying to become something which they perceive to better…but what is there to really improve?…everything you want to be you already “are” there is nothing to improve…your ideas of improvement are just concepts of the mind…excellence as you describe above is only in the eyes of society…to achieve a certain status or position in life…the reality is, is that we are all ordinary…but everyone thinks of himself or is striving to be extraordinary..this is the most ordinary thing…but to realize..to know one is ordinary is truly the most extraordinary thing in this world. .your right you just need to be yourself…but what is that?…unfortunately most people don’t know the significance and true meaning behind that message….to be yourself you don’t need to do anything..thats the problem people have not had the experience of what it is to have an utterly empty yet alert mind…to be completely alone in a state of “no thought” then you are your true self….
