Start Small

By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence. 

2 Peter 1:3 

How would you like to be able to live a life of excellence? One of our flaws is called impatience.  You see, we want all the good stuff NOW!  Not yesterday, not tomorrow, not an hour from now......we want it NOW!

Let me ask you a question: if you want to build muscles...does this happen with a single trip to the gym?  If you want to lose weight, does that happen after your first bite of vegetables?  If you wish to become proficient with firearms, does that happen the first time you pull the trigger?

You see, in order to live a life of excellence, we my use all that God has given us!  We have to begin our life of excellence by working on the small things.  The life of excellence is a culmination of excellence in all the smaller aspects of life!  Start with telling the truth; being courteous; forgiving; do what you know is the right thing to do....in so doing, you will begin to build the life of excellence.  

But it starts by showing excellence in the small things.
