A
beautiful Tuesday to you in Jesus name.
I hope you are evaluating how you spent the month of
September already? Excellent people take their time to reflect, review,
re-strategize, refresh and rethink their performances and plans. So, dear, I
want you to take time between now and Friday to take a long look at how you
have spent this month, what you did or fail to do, celebrate what you achieved
and the progress you made, plan on how to make up for anything you failed to do
or to do very well. Only thoughtful men are excellent men.
Today I am talking about the fact that excellence is
costly, everything excellent cost something. Nothing is excellent that cost
nothing, excellence comes at a price and only those who pay the price can be
truly excellent.
Have you ever wondered why excellence is not common?
It is because it is not cheap, it is costly. That something is cheap does not
mean that it is cost-effective, sometimes costly things are more cost-effective
than cheap things. And that is exactly what excellence does, excellence is
costly but it is cost-effective, excellence prevent loses and unnecessary
recurrent expenditures or wasteful repairs.
A common saying is that “if you think education is
costly, try ignorance,” and in the same vein I want to say that if you think
that excellence is costly or rather too costly, try mediocrity and see what it
is going to cost you.
For example a student who think an extra one hour of
reading is costly and performed poorly in an examination may eventually wait
till another year, with another fee to rewrite the same examination. So, which
one is more costly? Or perhaps a lazy staff who could not pay the price of
extra attention to details and then lose his or her job.
Excellence is costly, no doubt, but mediocrity will
be more costly on the long run. Mediocre loses opportunities for greatness that
becomes cheap benefit for excellent people. Everyone will have to pay for
something, you will either pay for excellence or pay for not being excellent.
Excellence pays when one is willing to pay for it because only those who have
paid for excellence are paid for being excellent.
Excellence will cost you prayers, time, thinking, resources,
discipline, hard work, sometimes good friends and your appetite.
What is excellence costing you?
You will succeed in Jesus name.
God will do you good and goodness will always pursue
you in Jesus name.
Before the end of this month, unusual helpers will
locate you in Jesus name.
As you embrace God’s will, God’s grace will disgrace
every disgrace waiting to disgrace you in Jesus name.
Today is the last Tuesday in September, everything
making life tough for you will disappear today in Jesus name.
God bless you.
