It's that time of year again. We dread it, but it has to be done. It is the only way to keep things fresh and livable. Its funny that some of the physical things that we are required to do in our everyday lives or as the seasons change, is the same thing we must do in our lives.
Have you ever felt like you just needed a good cry? Your soul just needing to cleanse itself? Or maybe you are finally done with a partnership, friendship or relationship that continues to weigh you down and you know its time to really be done with that situation. Well, that’s what “spring cleaning” entails when it comes to our lives. I know, easier said then done. But when you are in the process of going to the next level in your life, certain habits or certain people DO NOT QUALIFY to join you in your journey; especially when you are ascending to greater heights. We dread it and sometimes we procrastinate, but ultimately we must ensure that we do it. If not, you will find yourself in the same situation for years to come.
Change and Growth is the only constant in life. Embrace that concept and renew your mind daily so that you can be the best you. Striving for Excellence isn’t about being perfect. We will always miss the mark when we try to BE PERFECT. Striving for Excellence is giving your best and being your best. It is trying your hardest to emulate love and displaying integrity and character. Because once you give your best, that’s all you can give. So if you haven’t started cleaning or cleansing, today is a great day to make a decision to make it a part of your daily life.
