Michael On
player greater
There will be a player greater than me.
retired courses
I'm retired 99.9%. Of course, there always is that .1%.
home games play
It's easier for me to get ready for a game on the road because you're expected to lose when you play away from home. That's a challenge to right there and that perks my competitive juices.
numbers used
Number 45 doesn't explode like Number 23 used to.
motivational mean acceptance
Acceptance doesn't mean resignation; it means understanding that something is what it is and that there's got to be a way through it.
worst-case-scenario cases ifs
If you fixate on the worst-case scenario and it actually happens, you’ve lived it twice.
differences keys giving
But the key to our marriage is the capacity to give each other a break. And to realize that it's not how our similarities work together; it's how our differences work together.
work inspirational-life self-esteem
I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence I can reach for; perfection is God's business.
unique people use
The first part of my life was to be an actor and maybe have some success at that. Then [it was time] to find somebody to be in a relationship with and have a life that way. Because of Parkinson's, I had to change: How can I be of service here? Is there something unique to my situation that I can use to help people? I did not have the wherewithal to invent that. It just happened in front of me and had me join in.
challenges our-actions action
Our challenges don’t define us, our actions do.
judging judgement can-do
The least amount of judging we can do, the better off we are.
pain forever film
Pain is temporary, film is forever.
dream doctors differences
When prescribing one of the drugs I take, my doctor warned me of a common side effect: exaggerated, intensely vivid dreams. To be honest, I've never really noticed the difference. I've always dreamt big.
worst-case-scenario focus looks
That's the way I look at things - if you focus on the worst case scenario and it happens, you've lived it twice. It sounds like Pollyanna-ish tripe but I'm telling you - it works for me.
