Why We Fail

Excellence and mediocrity are both present in our system but  how we use them or how often depends completely on our will. The reason why we fail in an endeavour is mainly that we allow mediocrity to rule supreme in our system and give a short shrift to Excellence. There is a certain amount of intellectual and emotional laziness within us that prevents us from exploring the full potential of our excellence. Failure is only a warning that we are not using the pool of our resourcefulness and excellence fully. Excellence always ensures success because it is the liveliest and most energetic centre of our existence. But if not regularly used, it begins to lose its sharpness and brilliance. Excellence is a matter of habit. Unless we constantly strive to excel in everything we do, excellence begins to lose its power. From excellence it begins to turn into mediocrity. Most of us feel comfortable with mediocrity because it does not demand anything from us.
Thus the basic cause of our failure is our failure to tap the full potential of Excellence within us. There is no point in blaming others or our circumstances for our failure. We should be accountable to ourselves and have a regular self-audit.. Let us continuously cultivate and nourish Excellence and failure will not be seen anywhere near us.
