BEYOND EXCELLENCE

The Ottawa Sun recently ran a review of a new book authored by elite motivational speaker Mike Lipkin. His emphasis: push beyond excellence to pre-eminence in business and service. What does it take to be outstanding? According to Lipkin it is the ability to consistently go above and beyond what people expect; it is the ability to anticipate needs before they are expressed; the desire to demonstrate care; and it is a commitment to show more depth and speed in response to others.
Above & Beyond: Christians should know something about this:
Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God – 1 Corinthians 10:31
Go the extra mile – Matthew 5:41
The Good Samaritan – Luke 10:25-37
There is no shortcut on this journey. It is a high calling requiring focus and discipline. Are you up to the challenge?
