**One of my interns asked me to characterize a life of excellence, and how, after all, does one achieve such a lofty status. Following is my response:
I think it is paramount to have a grasp of the plans that God
dreamed for you or me before he made the worlds, and to make a decision to set
about fulfilling those plans. I believe we need to discover the talents which
lie dormant within us, and involve ourselves in a season of preparation which
predisposes us to fulfill God's plans. I believe living out a life of
excellence involves setting priorities and seldom allowing the good to
superimpose itself on the best. I believe excellence involves an ongoing set of
decisions and subsequent actions. I believe achieving excellence requires us to
die to self and devote ourselves to impacting those whom God has set in our
pathway.
"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." (Philippians 4:8)
