Excellence represents the very first glimpse into Reason’s intricate Analysis aspect, a harmonious and beautiful phenomenon that emerges naturally from sincere Honesty. It is not some distant or unattainable form of perfection, but rather a never-ending and active attaining work to align with our deepest values, so that we may apply them in our daily lives. Individuals who have constructed their lives on falsehoods and deceit often find this moment of clarity and excellence impossible to reach or even recognise.
As product of the Analysis aspect in Reason through the Propriety moment, the virtue of Excellence serves to identify and recognise what is genuinely excellent not only in others but also within ourselves. This virtue goes far beyond mere competence or abilities; it embodies a continuous and active commitment to improvement. Achieving true development in the skill of Excellence requires an internal sense of patience and calm quietude with the imperfect self, fostering a sincere willingness to nurture gradual growth as possible, rather than attempting to force immediate or premature outcomes. This deliberate and active cause in the process of improvement naturally leads to a deep and profound appreciation for the considerable time, effort, and dedication necessary to cultivate true greatness. This respect for that journey ultimately opens the pathway to embracing the next important virtue, which is Patience.
