5 Simple Ways To Live A Life Of Excellence

We aren’t here to live a life of mediocrity. We were put here to live a life of excellence. This doesn’t mean being perfect, but it does mean doing the small things that  will make a big difference. If you follow these 5 strategies, you will become happier all the way around, become more successful, and set an example to those around you.

1 – Get To Work Early

Stop being the person who strolls in to work right on time or even a few minutes late. Get there early so that you can get your coffee, and get situated before your work shift begins. Too many people work in mediocrity, getting to work late, then socializing. By the time they sit down to work, they’ve been in the building for 30 minutes. Don’t be that person. Doing this sends a message to your co-workers and superiors that you are mediocre at best. You may hate your job, but it’s a job that pays the bills for now. Be grateful and put in the effort.

2 – Take Care Of Your Mind, Body, and Spirit

Make a commitment to do something daily that takes care of your mind, body, and spirit. Tony Robbins, Oprah, Obama, and other people who live a life of excellence, make this a priority. Here are some things you can do:

• Exercise Daily
  • Don’t make any excuses. Do something that will get your heart moving every day.
• Meditate
  • Meditation keeps you focused and energized. It reduces stress, anxiety, and brain fog.
• Learn
  • Learn something new every day. Try to listen to a book on tape on your drive to work, or read something beneficial every night before bed.

3 – Take Care Of Your Possessions

It’s important that you take care of your possessions. This means clean your car. Keep your yard nice. Take the time to keep the inside of your house clean and organized. Whether you have a lot or a little or whether it’s brand new or old as dirt, take care of what you have.

4 – Look Sharp

Living a life of excellence means that you look your best at all times. Doing so also increases your confidence and self-esteem levels which improves every area of your life. Look your best for your kids, and your spouse. Don’t go to the grocery store looking as if you just rolled out of bed. Take pride in your appearance. You don’t have to buy expensive clothes or makeup. Make what you have look good.
