You can get good at something just by working hard at it. If you have some talent and you work hard at
it, you can get really, really good at it.
But excellence, peak performance, being the best you can be at
something---that doesn’t happen without coaching.
Resistance encourages us to take it easy and settle for mediocrity. God created us for happiness, and he fills us
with great joy as we strive for excellence, especially in the spiritual life.
Nobody achieves excellence at anything without coaching. Coaching plays an essential part in our lives
and it is often done through everyday conversations. It’s part of the generational experience that
we pass knowledge along, we pass wisdom along, we pass know-how along to other
people.
Who’s coaching me spiritually? I have to be constantly looking for
spiritual coaches because I need them to achieve excellence in the spiritual
life.
Am I striving for excellence in my spiritual life or am I
satisfied with mediocrity? As soon as I
start striving for excellence, I will start to look for spiritual coaches.
Who has coached me in my spiritual journey?
Focus:
Nobody achieves excellence at anything without spiritual coaching.
Act:
Seek out a spiritual coach.
Pray:
God, help me to know that holiness is possible for me.
Amen.
