The Other Side of The Production Debacle

Now, it’s a fine line of striving for excellence and not worshiping excellence.
We all should desire to be the best we can be, but what happens when our best becomes the norm?
Do we strive to grow and be better? Is it an ever changing process?
God’s plan is to “continue to do a good work in/through us.” It’s constantly happening.

Read a great post on striving for our best. Here’s a snapshot below. Want to read the whole thing? Click here.

The reason is that “better” now will eventually become outdated and average later. When the first generation iPhone came out, it revolutionized the industry. But it was updated and replaced because it soon was no longer sufficient to meet the needs of those it was serving. Yesterday’s release of the iPhone 4 was just the latest update. A year or so from now, we will have the iPhone 5 because the needs of the consumer will constantly demand a better phone.

Your capacity as a leader, a spouse, a parent, or an employee might be adequate right now, but it will be inadequate momentarily. The needs of those around you will constantly demand you to produce at a higher level. For this reason, we must have a healthy obsession with improving everything we do every time we do it. Not for the sake of pride. But for the sake of those who need us to be at our best and continually improving on our best.  – S. Furtick

I always want to be moving towards the best version of me that God has in store. How are you making changes and allowing God to move in you, so you can grow and get better?
