Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is pure, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy- think about such things. I have been good. I do good things. But, I feel that often in so many areas of my life I do just good things; enough to be good, or just enough. I feel that I need to start striving for excellence in everything I do and not settle for mediocre.
