The strive towards excellence is something that is ingrained with each dear soul, the need to do something well. We ask you, can you remember when you have performed any particular action perfectly? Can you remember dear ones when you gave 100% in every step of every detail that pertained to a certain task or goal? Do you remember the feeling you felt when you were able to meet an action perfectly or went through every step of a task or goal with 100% focus and effort? The feeling of deep satisfaction embraces you in a warm comforting hug, deepening respect for yourself and for what you have accomplished from your hard working efforts.

It is true, life as it is does flow around or within imperfection. One of the most important parts of those walking the spiritual path is their ability to accept life circumstances as well as any personal limitations that can deliver interesting and unique challenges. Dear ones, even while you are able to accept life as it is and you are able to acknowledge that you have some personal limitations does not mean you cannot pursue improvement on what you define inadequate about yourself or any part of your journey. It is important to not move through your journey passively, passing up opportunities to improve or to enhance certain skills. Be progressive, be aware and understand what you perceive as a limitation can always be improved; skills can always be honed and practiced. There is so much in your life right now that is only met with half-hearted efforts. Just think how much better the outcome to those situations, tasks or projects will be if you gave your total effort. Yes is does require time to give total effort, but when you want to reach a certain conclusion, or outcome, giving your total effort becomes the only solution.

The practice towards always putting your best foot forward and to excel in the many tasks you wish to accomplish delivers you a grand invitation for you to welcome the utmost principles and values within your own personal expressions and creations. There is always room for improvement dear ones within your moral and principled values, such as your integrity, commitment, bravery, dedication, compassion and tolerance, and you also have opportunities to improve higher standards of action. The more you try to reach beyond your normal expectations to complete a task or goal, the more you bring yourself towards more possibilities and towards transformation and development of your total self.

The potential to enhance and to improve every aspect of your life will also reach into the deepest areas of your thoughts and feelings, encouraging you to deepen your relationship with other dear souls through conscious efforts applied by you. You have witnessed many people with the music and arts who are always striving to create excellent work, they work tirelessly and with great effort and this effort comes from deep with them, it comes from the heart and soul working together as one with love and with creative energy to bring excellence into their actions. There is not a moment in your life dear ones where improvement and deeper development is not presented. There is always room for improvement.

There are many among you that ponder how they can bring higher quality actions into their spiritual life. Understand dear ones within the spiritual path there are many practices and these practices require focus and attention, the better the focus the better the results, this is part of bringing in higher quality within your actions. As you apply focused attention and effort you will indeed manifest outcomes that will be advantageous and your ability to bring total focus and effort are your primary muscles that will deepen and strengthen your spiritual life and inner person.

In addition dear ones, comprehend the source of your drive to bring excellence into your actions in Divine Perfection and behind your total focus and effort is an underlying energy that comes from the divine source of your drive to excel and to bring greater quality into your actions and that divine source dear ones is God. As you are applying complete focus and effort into your steps and actions of a goal that you are aiming to complete you are at a subtle level connecting with God and His energy that is light and loving flows through all you do, aiding you and encouraging you to continue with your total efforts because you are manifesting success as a result.

Understandably dear ones, excellence will broaden your ability to recognize and to perceive concepts or situations which will provide more effective ways to hear the subtle tones of your conscience. The self-centered person will always look for the easy way out and this kind of thinking and action is encouraged to be left behind. Pursuing excellence in any task, job, project or situation is found not through the easiest route but by taking the route that produces thought, deeper thinking, and more creativity that will help deliver you to the outcome you have envisioned. It is important to be objective dear ones, where you can be open to conscience and take your actions from the directions of your heart and soul.

When you apply 100% effort and focus, when you go beyond your normal means of action and effort where you are putting your best foot forward in every step, aligning yourself with the energy of Divine Perfection then the Divine Will of God also moves with you and through you. You can become a master at moving through difficult situations or create art, music, poetry, sewing, cooking with greater effort that will produce greater and more masterful results. It does not matter on the size of what you were able to bring into perfection, what matters dear ones is that you did. And during the moments you did you strengthened your relationship with God and a relationship with God is one to be felt and appreciated from your heart.

It is understood dear ones, during the time you were pursuing excellence on any task, goal, project or even situation you were for those moments empty of Egoic thoughts and notions, you were acting and coming from pure energy that is sacred. This sacred energy is fuelled by love. As you pursue different areas in your life to perfect and to improve, you are also improving your own quality of life, and as you manifest a better life you are also brining about greater amounts of joy, happiness and of course peace of mind knowing you did it, you succeeded because of your own efforts. Each of you are masters in the making, in your own way you are bringing perfection and better applied effort each day into more and more things. All the changes you want to see begin with you making the first step and we know you will put your best foot forward each time.

And so it is…
