Action Leads To Excellence!by Doc Seeds | on April 23, 2013

Action leads to excellence! This applies to each and every single aspect of every living human being, creature and plant life. Yet this is the one thing that way too many overlook!

As a musician, I have spent years of countless hours of practice striving to perfect my craft. As a musician, you never reach perfection, but with practice and more practice, actionultimately leads to excellence.

As a businessman, I also have spent years of countless hours of studying and role playing to perfect and sharpen my skills and knowledge base. As any business person will tell you, they also aren’t perfect, but with increased knowledge and a growing skill set, action leads to excellence.

Ask ANY sports figure, especially those with impeccable reputations of excellence, and they will be the first to tell you that without daily practice and repetition, not only will they not grow their skills, but are likely to lose what they have worked so hard to achieve to begin with.Action leads to excellence!

Why do some choose to go to college to learn a trade? Because, with training from others who are experienced and have a proven track record, they are allowed to learn and practice a trade through study and on the job training. This allows them to become licensed or certified in their perspective field. Again, action leads to excellence!

Why does a Medical Doctor continue to study through ongoing education courses, when they have already completed medical school and are a licensed physician? Because they, above all, know the importance of not only maintaining their skill set but growing and enhancing their skills as new medical treatment discoveries surface. Action leads to excellence!

Ok, let’s look at the two words action and excellence. According to Webster,

Action can be an act of will, a thing done, the accomplishment of a thing usually

over a period of time, in stages or with the possibility of repetition.

Excellence can be the quality of being excellent or an excellent or valuable

quality.

While keeping one’s mind busy will help avoid distractions and keep the mind sharp, the purpose of action is not busy work. The purpose of action is to be a tool in which to get better at whatever it is in life that you strive to do.

Spending all those countless hours practicing was not so that I could be the greatest player of scales, nor was it intended to be busy work. It was by practicing the scales that afforded me the skills in which to play more beautifully and skillfully.

By enhancing my skills that allow me to play more beautifully and skillfully, I am able to command a higher paying salary,when I perform! Action leads to excellence!

The same is true for the Medical Doctor, the athlete and the business man. By practicing their skills, and increasing their level of performance, they are also allowed the luxury of commanding a higher return on their investment! Action leads to excellence!

In our everyday lives we all, to some degree, strive to improve ourselves. Just as small babies start out crawling before they can walk, it is by sheer repetition that the baby learns to crawl and eventually walk.

We could all take a lesson from the crawling baby learning to walk, the physician learning new skills, the athlete working to get faster and stronger, the businessman striving to sharpen his knowledge and the musicians who challenge themselves to get better and better. ACTION LEADS TO EXCELLENCE!
