In a time when most people are only attracted to that which makes them feel “nice” or “comfortable” or, worst of all, the indefinable “happy”, the concept of excellence has become almost mythical.
Sheeple are willing to not just blindly believe in, but actively promote the idea that hard work and endeavour don’t really exist and their places lies “TALENT”.
Talent is a devilishly tempting false prophet.
It allows us to believe in a whole world of sin by instantly excusing us from graft, struggle and aspiration.
HOWEVER:
The Pursuit of Excellence > the pursuit of happiness
Happiness tends to elude those who pursue it but is in abundance to those who pursue something more meaningful in their lives.
So, why not give it a shot - it’s Sunday and you’ve nothing to lose!
