Excellence as a skill, love for all others and the forest as your medic

"Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit. "
- Aristotle -

You may agree with me. You may not. But the latest researches in the field of enhancing performance and replication of excellence confirmed what we, on some subconscious level, always new. Excellence is not entirely related to genetics or luck. Excellence is a skill and we can learn how to train it. Wait no more. Start searching the internet, start reading and analyzing various categories of information available to you. Strengthen your weaknesses and maximize your strengths. There is a time to shine and be th best version of the imperfect you, and that time is now.

"Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy. That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody's business. What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy."
- Thomas Merton -

In becoming experts in various fields, we will meet some people looking at us with envy or even hate. Do not take it personal. You are not here to save the world, if you are not able to save yourself first. You cannot force others to be happy, but you can learn how to be happy yourself. Continue with your random act of kindness, even anonymously, if the serpent of pride will try to intervene along your own path. Be good, love everyone and learn from everyone.

My gift for you today - watch this movie. Learn how the forest heals you.
