Excellence: the ability to Think better than normal, Be better than average and Do beyond the impossible, by choosing to believe the best; to see the best that can only stem from Being one's best.
The thought behind the quote
The Hebrew word for "excellence" used in Daniel 6:3 is יתיר
(yateer) which means "extraordinary" or "preeminent." This word reflects the kind of spirit Daniel had—one that was set apart, remarkable, and surpassing what was ordinary. Daniel’s excellence was not merely a product of his natural abilities but was the result of an internal commitment to be the best he could be, empowered by God.
