God's Blueprint for Excellenceনমুনা

Day 1

Introduction - The Pursuit of Excellence

Let me tell you about a moment that changed my life. Back in 1982, I was climbing a corporate ladder, comfortable but restless. A vision for something greater—helping families through financial advising—sparked a fire in me. I saw myself helping thousands of families with their financial future and what I could become in the process. That pursuit of excellence transformed my world. Colossians 3:23 reminds us to work with all our heart for God, not just to get by, but to flourish. Excellence isn’t about being perfect; it’s about fanning the embers of passion inside you to live fully in every area—family, faith, work, and health.

You’ve got that same power of excellence within you, waiting to be unleashed. It starts with a vision, a dream bigger than your circumstances. Think of the young fisherman, tossing back big fish because his pan was too small. Don’t shrink your dreams to fit your life—expand your life to fit your dreams! Today, take one step toward excellence: write down a goal that excites you, whether it’s mending a relationship or starting a new habit, and commit to it with all your heart.

This 12-day reading plan gives you the 10 Standards of Excellence based on my book titled the same. They are based on the Ten Commandments. God has always wanted His people to be in pursuit of excellence!

Action Step

Write down one dream or goal that inspires you—big or small—and take one specific action today to move toward it, like making a call, researching a skill, or praying for clarity. Note how this step ignites your passion for excellence.

Prayer

Lord, thank You for planting the power of excellence in me. Stir my heart with a vision for a life that honors You. Help me work with all my heart, trusting You to guide my steps toward a fulfilling journey of excellence. Amen.
