Good vs. Excellent

I once heard it said that "good enough" is the enemy of "the best." When I consider my life, I think I have often done just enough to get by. I know I was like that in school. I had the ability to get A's, but a B was just fine with me if it meant I didn't have to work as hard. Just a bit above average, but not excellent; not outstanding; not the best. Often work has been the same way. Just doing enough to get by without extra effort.

This is something I want to change. I want to be excellent; to be outstanding; to be the best that I can be. It means putting in that extra work. It means not settling for good enough.
