We have untapped potential waiting to untapped to shine our light on Earth. 2. God chose us to serve His purpose in our generation. He also created Mankind to serve his purpose here on Earth for His Glory. The significance of purpose include- Finding meaning and fulfillment, performance, improved descion making, focus and Eternity. 3.We are all connected for Excellence. There are three levels of connection as self connection(with ourselves), social connection(with others) and spiritual connection(with God). To cultivate connection- through knowledge and love(affirmation, giving, service, communication, humility and trust). 4. To cultivate a spirit of excellence, good character is needed. Character manifests itself in integrity, respect, courage, prudence, compassion, self control, kindness and loyalty. 5. Competencies for Excellence include cognitive skills, technical skills and Emotional Intelligence(EQ). The art of excellence is developed through identifying your purpose and passion/interests, your potential, through becoming great over time and persistence.

Our self-concept is the seat of the laws of belief, expectation, attraction, snd correspondence. It determines what we think about most of the time, contains the roots of learned helplessness, and represents our comfort zone. Our main goal is to take complete control over the evolution and development of our self-concept and shape our personality and character into an extraordinary person who can accomplish remarkable things. Take the time to become absolutely clear about the virtues, values, qualities and attributes that we most admire and aspire to make a part of our personality. Prior to every events of importance, create a clear mental picture of ourselves performing at our very best, consistent with the highest values and qualities that we have or desire to have. Especially, continually repeat the magic words "I like myself!" over and over again until they are accepted by our subconcious mind and become a permanent part of our personality. The more we like and respect ourselves and consider ourselves a valuable and important person, the faster we will develop every other habit, quality, and attribute that we need to fulfill our full potential.
