"Life can be boring unless you put some effort into it." — John C. Maxwell

The most talented do not always end up as celebrities, and those with less talent often do. Upsets are written into our history and occur around us every day.

Talent grips us. We are overtaken by the beauty of Michelangelo's sculpture, riveted by Mariah Carey's angelic voice, doubled over in laughter by the comedy of Robin Williams, and captivated by the on screen performances of Denzel Washington.

When your dream is bigger than you are, you only have two choices: give up or get help.

It seems the older you get, the more life comes into focus.
