I don't think special attention should be given to an actor or a singer or a baseball player or a soccer player more than anyone else, but they do have an opinion like anyone else.
If you're going to do something, strive to do it better than anyone else. Do it all the way. If you're going to half-ass it, why bother?

What you are is much greater than anything or anyone else you have ever yearned for. God is manifest in you in a way that He is not manifest in any other human being.

The inspired moment may sometimes be described as a kind of hallucinatory state of mind: one half of the personality emotes and dictates while the other half listens and notates.

Every generation has their own great players. Who's to say that anyone's better than Cheryl Miller or Nancy Lieberman?

There's never going to be one player that's so above and beyond anyone else.
The goal is not to be better than anyone else but rather be better than you were yesterday.
I think I couldn't balance my marriage and my mother's deteriorating health. I realized it was unfair to my husband to have my divided attention. I understood he deserved better and should go for that. He deserved the attention of a partner, not another headache, and I didn't want to share my time with anyone else but my mother.
