EXCELLENCE – 3. Attention to Detail
People who possess a spirit of excellence see the big picture without neglecting the small details.
A small leak can sink a big ship.
The mentality of “it’s good enough” is settling for average. Don’t settle for average.
When Michael Angelo was painting a hidden part of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome – a part that would not be seen from the ground – a friend visiting with him asked why he was giving such minute detail to an obscure part that nobody will see. Angelo responded, “God will see it – I’m not painting this for the pope I’m painting it for God.”
If you take that kind of excellence into your work you’ll have better output and better testimonies, as people want to know why you are like you are.
What’s your attitude? Are you doing everything you put your hand to for the glory of God? Are you doing it with excellence?
Paying attention to detail is the key to being extraordinary in an ordinary world.
