The dictionary meaning of excellence is the quality of being outstanding or extremely good. So it's a talent that surpasses ordinary standards. Conventionally, it could be in a particular domain of expertise. Some body could be excellent as a singer; somebody could be an excellent actor; somebody could be an excellent communicator...
Here; however, we are talking about what makes someone an excellent person, who is extremely popular and liked by all within her/his sphere of influence and who people blindly trust with full confidence. I mean, someone completely dependable. There are people like that. I have come across quite a few in my own life.
They usually are a never ending source of positive energy. Being with them is a delightful experience in itself. while with them, people forget their pains and agonies. In their company, people lose count of time. They make others feel so important. In nutshell, they make others reach an amazing state of happiness and fulfillment.
What is the secret behind attaining this state of excellence in life? What makes them far superior to others? What makes them so desirable? What do they have that others don't. There must be something or quite a few things that they possess, not available in others. Yes, there are a few things that make them different.
In pursuit of finding out the answer to these questions, I decided to dig out from my memory every relevant experience I have had so far in that regard and do some research work by scanning through information available on internet.
In my opinion, they don't do anything special but a few things naturally every day and consistently. These are:
Being Authentic - They express their thoughts, ideas and views as those actually are a part of their value system and character, without any fear of others' opinion.
Being Forgiving - They let go the thoughts and feelings of resentment and anger and the desire to seek vengeance and retribution towards those who hurt them, including their own-selves.
Being Ego-less - They don't inflate their self-importance and believe in putting themselves in other's shoes, while practicing gratitude as an affirmation of kindness and goodness in others.
Being Giver - They are others-focused in terms of extending unconditional help and support to others, focusing on adding values to their lives in terms of useful contributions.
Being Listener - They make every interaction a positive experience for others they are conversing with, intensely and openly discussing and focusing on the issues and differences.
They do have many other qualities that make them stand out in the crowd, in terms of being a constant source of motivation and inspiration for others. That's why they are delightfully awarded the crown of excellence.
