SUCCESS STORY: How To Elevate Performance To The Peak
Performance is elevated to its ever-heightening peak when the sense of responsibility continually increases.
We are living in an age where many do not want to take responsibility for anything but yet want to enjoy the benefit of everything.
We are living in an age where many do not want to do the right thing because it’s hard but is quick to do the wrong thing because it is easy and yet want to enjoy a lifetime of consistent success.
We are living in an age where many think they can outsmart the fundamentals and the process and yet be smart enough to keep on progressing – how ridiculous!
We are living in an age where we have more in quantity but our lives lack quality or substance.
We are living in an age of trends but yet inner satisfaction is drained.
We are living in an age of illusions and delusions that make life shallow.
We are living in an age where many desperately want their circumstances to improve but yet lack the sincerity and discipline to improve themselves – what an illusion!
When the low life reigns the higher life becomes extinct. We must transition from this superficial age to become the real deal – the real deal of true success and greatness.
The higher life births a significant life. And the higher life is only possible when we tread through the higher way – that’s the mark of a superior soul; a Masterpiece.
Michelangelo Buonarroti the sculptor extraordinaire modeled excellence at its peak through painstaking thoroughness, and perseverance that severed him from the status quo.
Beyond the gift or talent, he showed the world that it is the quality of the man (which must be developed) that gives credence to his gift and determines the value he creates and the sustainability of the value.
Let Michelangelo’s life’s work speak to your heart and let it spark an intense desire within you as we unfold the secrets of extraordinary accomplishment.
HOWEVER HARD…EMBRACE THE CHALLENGE OF RESPONSIBILITY:
Pope Julius II considered the decoration of the Sistine Chapel of the Vatican too dull thus, he assigned Michelangelo the task of redoing the chapel’s ceiling.
Michelangelo quickly opposed that he was a sculptor and not a painter. In actuality, Michelangelo preferred sculpting and he well knew that painting a vaulted ceiling sixty feet in the air was a process that would take years and would require the development of a new painting technique. However, Pope Julius II prevailed and Michelangelo settled to begin the arduous project that was to become his most famous work.
THE PRINCIPLE:
Responsibility is the meal of champions. When you take up responsibility you eat up the diet that grows and stretches your capacity. Easy responsibility is for babies or children just like babies feed on milk as their meal.
However, as one grows into adulthood, the individual will be able to chew hard meat. So it applies. The harder the responsibility you take up, the greater will be the level of your accomplishments. The responsibility that stretches your potential is the responsibility that moves you onward and upward.
An attempt to evade responsibility is to exempt yourself from the success parade. Your willingness to assume great responsibility and utilize the mind power is your willingness to climb the ladder of accomplishment one step at a time to the top and there are always unlimited heights available for anyone who is willing and ready to ascend and keep on ascending to greater levels.
This is the key distinction that separates achievers from average people – the willingness to take responsibility. The quality and quantity of service rendered coupled with the mental attitude which the individual renders it will determine the level and quality of value created which in turn determines the level of accomplishment of the individual.
Extraordinary accomplishment is achieved by those who set no limit on what they can do – they think beyond limits and they accomplish without limits. The limit in your mind is the only real limit on your path. Desire is the momentum of extraordinary accomplishment. The level of your desire will determine your level of accomplishment.
NEVER SETTLE FOR LESS
At the outset, Michelangelo hired other well-known fresco painters to assist him but after seeing their first efforts, he dismissed them, pulled down their work, and closed himself in the chapel to do the work alone.
THE PRINCIPLE:
To be well-known does not connote being well-grounded and rooted in excellence. A man of vision is more powerful than a man with mere skill. Vision drives performance. Vision defines performance.
Never settle for less than the best quality performance you are capable of as you keep increasing your capacity.
Raise your stakes if you must stake the claim of extraordinary accomplishments.
To be well-known does not connote being well-grounded and rooted in excellence. A man of vision is more powerful than a man with mere skill. Vision drives performance. Vision defines the quality of performance and the quality of the vision refines the quality of performance.
Never settle for less than the best quality performance possible. Raise the stake if you must stake the claim of extraordinary accomplishments. Never compromise on excellence to deliver the promise.
