Excellence
What is Excellence?
A recognition of and deep respect for mastery in any domain. People who appreciate excellence are inspired rather than threatened by the achievements of others — they see greatness as a signal of what is possible.
When you might feel excellence
Excellence is a specific form of appreciation of beauty, which itself is a type of transcendence. You might experience this feeling in situations where transcendence is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define excellence.
