Do you see a man skillful in his work? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure men.

Proverbs 23:29 ESV

Watching Lionel Messi over the years has left me with this notion: it’s possible to make excellence and genius acts an everyday affair. I like to study the mentality, work ethics, attitude etc. of excellent men and women in all works of life with the aim of discovering the virtues that set them apart from the rest of the pack.

There are countless case studies to observe – Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Gucci, Ali Baba etc. From my observation, all of these people have a few things in common and so in no particular order, I highlight below these distinguishing features that enable them to make genius acts an everyday affair.

  1. Positive mental attitude, an unbeatable mindset and faith in self-audacity. 
  2. Vision and clear-cut goals.
  3. Focus, the ability to stick to a cause, single mindedness, attention to detail.
  4. Discipline, willingness to make personal sacrifices to become, not following the crowd.
  5. Consistency, choosing to keep at something, the power of repetition.
  6. Humility, never to be condescending.
  7. Outdoing self, never resting on one’s feather.

These are what make men of excellence, men who are masters in the art of making genius feats an everyday affair and who says you can be one?

PRAYER: I have the spirit of excellence resting upon me and everything that I do in Jesus’ name.
