Working With Excellence
Posted on January 14th, 2009 in Healthy Habits
I am wondering what I would accomplish today, if I were working with excellence … constantly striving to reach my highest potential. Isn’t that what Scripture indicates we should do?
Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might.
(Ecclesiastes 9:10a NIV)
So what would I do with excellence today? A few things come to mind:
- I’d start my day with prayer and/or Bible study and contemplation.
- I’d call my friend, who is celebrating her birthday today, and pray a blessing over her upcoming year.
- I’d vacuum our house and clean our bathrooms, so guests and family will find it to be a cozy retreat from the rest of the world.
- I’d arrange a coffee date with a friend who recently mentioned that she is struggling and needs a godly friend to discuss some things with.
- I’d take at least one step toward getting the paperwork in order so we can file our taxes early this year.
- I’d have a healthy meal ready and waiting for my husband when he gets home from work.
That’s a good start, don’t you think? What would YOU accomplish today, if you were working with excellence?
Keeping it real,

The scripture you’ve chosen is really resonating with me. I find that others can be scornful because I have a strong work ethic. Seeing these words has reaffirmed my values. Thank you for once again posting a timely and meaningful topic. KathiS

Hi Tammie,
I would start my day with meditation – followed by some reading – maybe the Bible, or a favorite book. I’d take time to write. And then I’d take time to connect with those important to me… And if I could do all that, it would be an excellent day indeed!
And I think your list is marvelous! Excellent for sure!
