People often want to not only have the best, they want to be the best. We hear thoughts like, “Be the best you can be,” or “Do the best you can do.”

The challenge comes in how we define “best.”

Pursuing excellence is a different mindset, yet one worth pursuing.

The pursuit of excellence provides consistency to leadership.

Pursuing excellence acknowledges the present situation and need. It demands that we strive to learn and improve. And pursuing excellence strives to constantly make proper application.

Making a difference in our life and in others is an excellent pursuit.
