Why settle for mediocrity?

I love great music. Nothing moves me quite like a masterful blend of instruments. I watched a great theatre production last night and realized I love great theatre as well. I realized when I was in France that I like great food. And I watch only one sporting event religiously, the Olympics. Great sports.

I think this translates into my dating life also. I want greatness. And truthfully, he doesn't have to be the greatest in the world, but at least striving for greatness. Some of the best Olympic stories are those who never see a medal. Take the Irish gymnist for example. Only the second Irishman to qualify for the Olympics. He had a tumor in his leg when he was ten, the doctors said he would never walk again. He suffered several injuries. But he still aimed for greatness. I believe he achieved it.

We can achieve greatness in our own lives. You can have great compassion, great determination, great love, great passion. I strive for greatness in my own life. Why would I ever settle for less, in any arena?
