			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.everythingcounts.com/Talk/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/excellent-blog.jpg" alt="Expose Yourself to Excellence" title="Expose Yourself to Excellence" width="240" height="318" class="left" />The statement, “you become what you think about”, reminds us that our thoughts affect who we are, and it points out the connection between what we think and what we become. </p>
<p>And with this understanding in mind, it amazes me to see how many people: </p>
<p>- Listen to nasty music and think it won&#8217;t affect them.</p>
<p>- Watch bad images and think they will not be impacted by them.</p>
<p>- Lie, cheat, and steal and think that it will not undermine their reputation.</p>
<p>- Are late, unprepared and apathetic and think that it will not impact their income potential.</p>
<p>- Make excuses and blame others for their sorry state and think that it serves a useful purpose.</p>
<p>- Surround themselves with a lousy reference group and think that they will not become just like them.</p>
<p>- Gossip about and criticize other people and think that it does not demonstrate a lack of character.</p>
<p>- Expose their mind and soul to behavioral indecencies and really think that it will not negatively impact their results. </p>
<p>These people are delusional if they think that&#8217;s the case. </p>
<p>UNFORTUNATELY, far too many are OVER-EXPOSED to these behavioral indecencies which add absolutely no value to their lives.  </p>
<p>In fact, by remaining exposed to these indecencies, they are in effect digging a grave which they may never climb out of. </p>
<p><strong>THE SOLUTION </strong></p>
<p>You must never forget that your mind thinks about what it is exposed too.  </p>
<p>Therefore, consciously give serious and consistent exposure to whatever is:  </p>
<p>- True</p>
<p>- Noble</p>
<p>- Right</p>
<p>- Pure</p>
<p>- Lovely</p>
<p>- Admirable </p>
<p>If anything is excellent or praiseworthy&#8211;expose yourself accordingly. </p>
<p><strong>YOUR TWO-STEP CHALLENGE </strong></p>
<p>Your challenge each and every day is twofold: </p>
<p><strong>Step 1. </strong>Expose yourself to new ideas, to stimulating conversation, to positivity, to good&#8211;honorable people, to quality music, to healthy food, and&#8230;anything that is virtuous. </p>
<p><strong>Step 2. </strong>Expose other people to your good character, sound judgment, and to your helpful nature. </p>
<p>You must expose people to the example you want emulated in society. </p>
<p>You must consistently expose yourself, your children, employees and friends to world-class ideas, and that is exactly why I created <a href="https://www.everythingcounts.com/Orders/">Everything Counts! </a></p>
<p>In this one-of-a-kind program, you will be exposed to: </p>
<p>- Excellence</p>
<p>- Quality </p>
<p>- Commitment</p>
<p>- Integrity</p>
<p>- Attention to detail</p>
<p>- The competitive advantages of speed</p>
<p>- Accountability and reputational collateral</p>
<p>- Best personal practices of the most product people that ever lived</p>
<p>and so much more&#8230; </p>

It means that you are lovingly doing all of the things that bring out your absolute best.  

The word ‘love’ is appropriate, because it is precisely right in both the meaning and the feeling that it carries. &#160;&#160;<a href="/do-all-things-lovingly/">...continues</a>]]></description>

<p>It means that you are lovingly doing all of the things that bring out your absolute best. </p>
<p>The word ‘love’ is appropriate, because it is precisely right in both the meaning and the feeling that it carries. </p>
<p>Do all things lovingly; that is the secret to quality and perfection, and expecting nothing but perfection is the first step toward achieving it. </p>
<p>A loving devotion to quality allows no detail to be overlooked. It wants everything to be “just so”, nothing that might affect that which makes the performance spectacular can be neglected or regarded as trivial. </p>
<p>A compulsion to be tidy, orderly and well organized is a natural impulse and by-product in a workplace where quality is taken to heart.</p>
<p>While the ideal of perfection is always humbling, it should never be thought of  as defeating. There is no rest when it comes to quality; therefore, quality must be an obsession. </p>
<p>The passionate pursuit of perfection is what gives work meaning and gratifies the human soul. When the work we do is the work we love, the results are a shining testament of quality. </p>
<p>Quality first, quality always is the mark of greatness; therefore choose to be great today!</p>
