Excellence is a concept. Excellence is a drive from the inside and not outside. It is not for someone else to notice but for your own satisfaction. The desire to excel is exclusive of the fact whether someone appreciates your work or not. Here I bring to your memory the story of a sculptor who wanted to carve a perfect statue without ant scratch marks, no traces at all.
Excellence is an ownership (Ownership without actually owning a thing) that we all take in the work that we present to our colleagues, which is one of the traits of a leader. A leader shows his excellence by his humility, by eating last and always says "after you".
Similarly all of us have to look inside and discover our Self and find out who we are by asking constantly with all sincerity and seriousness, "Who am I"? This cannot be explained and all of us are ignorant of this fact. Once we gain spiritual knowledge we will get clarity and come out of delusion which is bothering us at present.
Try to get inner peace and harmony and you will certainly gain 'Ananda' all the time.
Be blissful.
