In life, it is important that as humans, we have to set core values for ourselves to be able to reach the place we have always dreamed to be. Any man who lives life just only on luck may never be able to make it. We need to reach a particular standard, we need to prepare ourselves and there are certain core values we need to get what we aim for.

Time
The factor of time applies to everyone in our drive for excellence. When we neglect the factor of time, we miss out on everything.
Diligence
Diligence is knowing the worth of what you've been called to do and giving your very best to do it.
The differences in life are not our background but how we put in the effort to do what God has put in our hands to do. In attaining increasing greatness there is a need to have core values.
Excellence is in the ability to live out our true purposes. We have to set our terms of excellence at the level God has placed us in the knowledge of God. Excellence is when we have been able to serve the purpose at which we were created at the level we find ourselves.
Contentment
Contentment is required in the journey to excellence. It is the level of discipline you give yourself at that level God has placed you even though you wish for more and there is nothing you can do then. Let not the world define our standard of excellence because if we let the world define it for us, we may never be contented with the actual position we are in at a particular season of our lives while aiming for more in our lives.
It is important that we learn and be conscious to always put in our best in whatever we are doing, draw strength from the Lord, and mind our circle of friends to be able to aim for greatness.
