Healthy Habits – Insist Upon Excellence
The Fulling team is watching Healthy Habits by Marcus “Goodie” Goodloe.
“We all want to see our dreams become a reality, but many of us don’t realize how our everyday habits are the key to either making progress or becoming stuck in a rut. So what can we do to identify and establish good habits while ridding ourselves of patterns that keep us from relationally, spiritually, and emotionally thriving? Join bestselling author Marcus ”Goodie“ Goodloe in this six-session series as he guides us through the six steps to achieving life-changing practices.”
Excellence is more than an act—it’s a habit. How you do one thing is how you do everything. We become what we repeatedly do.
Insisting on excellence is not the same thing as demanding perfection. Excellence is persistent work toward achieving our goals to the best of our ability. There is room for failure, even when we work with excellence, which creates growth opportunities. Demanding perfection suffocates creativity and makes no space for unexpected challenges.
Employers are looking for Trust not Perfection.
Goodie gave us some rules that will help us chase excellence. The first is to do what’s right.
Goodie’s second rule is to show people that you care.
Goodie wrapped up this session reminding us that our actions speak louder than our words. Talking about excellence is easy; living with excellence is much more difficult.
