David Jenyns argues that how you see a task determines how you do it. View your work as a chance to serve excellently and you'll produce excellent results. View it as average and that's what you'll deliver.

How we view things determines how we do things. That's just an incredible principle. If I view things in a perspective of wanting to serve with excellence, guess what I'll do? I'll serve with excellence. If I view things in a very average way, then I'll put average into that endeavor. So how I view things is how I do things. And we see things not as they are. We see things as we are. That's why two people can be in the same situation, same experience, same place, and see things completely different than anyone else.
So what is before you isn't what you see. Who you are is what you see.
