Excellence is a journey.
It starts at a place of realisation that you have a lack of knowledge or skill coupled with an intense desire to be better.
The path is marked by growth.
The goal is not perfection (because only God can be perfect) but to see yourself better than yesterday.
How this contrasts with performance is that excellence is not a metric but a way of life, an attitude. It is a trait of your character.
Where performance tells you that you are a failure, excellence tells you you can be better.
Be excellent.
