Average is the enemy of excellence


I don't know about you, but there has always been a drive in me to be above average. (accept algebra I ....& Botony...& well maybe all other academics as well) In life it is so easy to get comfortable and complacent in life. Human nature is to gravitate toward what is easy and comfortable. With C3, one of our key values is to evaluate everything. Between services, after the Sunday morning or event we always ask; what could we have done to make it better? It is awesome to be a part of a team where there is enough trust, that honesty can happen for the betterment of the big picture. Then you have to have people with enough self esteem to be able to take it in the right vein. We are totally getting there! It is great to see comments that would have normally offended someone, now not sting because they now the heart behind it. What is best for C3?
So what are some ways that you evaluate yourself or what you are involved in? Who can be honest with you in order for you to break away from average?

Thanks for your comment. I am truly learning that almost everything in life of true excellence, takes an incredible amount of work to get there and keep it there. But it is within reach! Keep going after it!
