Competence One of the keys to experience success in life is to be competent in everything you do and in every area of your life. This is extremely vital as you travel on your journey of success and excellence. Make a commitment to yourself to do your best in every area of your very being. Pay attention to the last 5% to 10% of any job, project, or whatever the situation may be, because it is in this phase that will make all the difference in the world. So work competently 100% of the time. The more competent you are in any situation, the better you become as a person on your way to excellence. So many people work hard at creating and accomplishing something, and then something happens, they give up as they are about to experience greatness and success. It is just like a football team that gets down to the one yard line but doesn't score. They just give up and walk off the field. Your level of competency has to stay and remain constant until you see the project to the very end. Don't relax and give up because you think you have arrived when you know you haven't. Be competent about your work, job, relationships, etc. The reason being is because if you are unhappy with them, that unhappiness is the prerequisite to failure in life. Therefore, be competent in your life to make decisions that will make you happy seven days a week, 365 days a year. While we are on the topic of decisions, let us talk about them for a moment. What is it that creates and shapes your environment around you? If you guessed your - decisions - you are correct. It is not other people, the environment, the weather, etc. It is mind and the decisions that you make. Whether you take action on something or not is a decision that you make. Far too many people are blaming others for the decisions that they make. Stop blaming and the finger pointing and point the fingers at you. The people who go high and far in business today have a high level of competency and excellent decision making that puts them in that position in life. The same holds true for you. Begin now to raise your competency level so that you can create the life that you wish to live. To summarize 3 main points from today's continued education when it comes to competence: Excellence yields opportunities Smart work yields improvement The market pays for excellence (non-materially and materially) I want to thank you for sharing your time today. It is truly a blessing to give to others. Peace and I wish you well. Dana Easter El - The Doctor Of Excellence. More growth tools, visit: http://fuelforwellness.com/
