| IF THIS LITTLE GARDEN MYSTERY HAD A HAIKU FOR YOU WHAT WOULD IT BE? |
Excellence
One definition of excellence is a quality that is
unusually good. When you think about
your own excellence, what is it that you are unusually good at? You cannot escape this word. In order to live your best life, a rich and
meaningful life it is important to own your own excellence. Name one thing and perhaps write a haiku
about it.
Here
is a sample:
Bake
one rich muffin
Store
chocolate chips within
Touch,
smell, taste, digest
A Haiku does not have to rhyme and does actually read
kind of choppy and awkward, but it is the simple math of three sentences of
5-7-5 syllables.
Play this day with your excellence and quit taking
yourself so seriously that you don’t allow your soul to claim its
excellence. Be excellent at something
and own it fully. Yes, it may seem
awkward and choppy, not particularly pretty, but it is your and you enjoy
creating it. That is all that matters. I
will never make a living as a Haiku artist, but the joy of creating seventeen
syllables in three sentences is an expression of my excellence of being willing
to try something completely outside of my comfort zone.
You can never obtain excellence if your inner judge
stops you before you even start something.
Anyone that has created something of excellence has failed more times
than not and each time they try again, correcting what did not work
before. However, the joy of trying and
discovering new things is a journey of inner excellence. Enjoy yours.
