The truth about chasing excellence is... YOU WILL NOT GET IT. It is a forever pursue because once you become excellent at something and you think you're already great, you will not stop working anymore and that will be the start of your falter, you will go back being a mediocre again. Chasing excellence is a forever work, you cannot think that you're already excellent because it will make you stagnant, complacent and weak. You will lose motivation and you will start to decline.
Chasing excellence is an everyday work. And even if you become successful at something... you can't think that you're already successful because you will become arrogant and slow, you will start to take things lightly and not work hard anymore.
It's a forever sacrifice, you need to learn and grow everyday... that is what chasing excellence is all about.
Look at those people who achieved a certain level of success and start becoming lazy... they fall fast, they never make it to the top again. They thought that they were already on top of the world. Nobody can stay on the top of the world forever because someone will try to steal it for you so you have to defend it. You still need to keep getting better even if you're already great.
Chasing excellence is like chasing something that you will never be able to hold on to. It is like pursuing an impossible but you still need to work even if you can't have it. It is being it not having it. Because you can only become excellent if you accept that you will never become one.
