Do What You Can
We can get so hooked on the idea of excelling that when we realize we can't be number one, we quit in despair. If I can't be Billy Graham, I won't say anything publicly about God. If I can't win the Boston Marathon, I won't even enjoy a morning jog. Nonsense. My efforts may be classified as ordinary, but they are my efforts, and I'll have the excitement and challenge of making them, thank you.
