To be great you have to go all out… and it may cost you. But if you are not careful it may also cost others around you as well. 

 

We all want to be great at something. Many of us are willing to pay the price, but have you ever run across someone who is incredibly successful in life OR SO IT SEEMS… and later you find out what a miserable wretch they were in all the other areas of their lives?

 

Ted Williams arguably the greatest baseball player of all times. His life was baseball. His practice routine was epic and he was known to have every detail down to a science. He studied pitchers… he would know every detail, he would suck up to umpires and pick their brains and take detailed notes. He would go to great lengths to berate pitchers to get them to lose focus. One of his best known jabs was “what is dumber than a pitcher? 2 pitchers”. Williams demanded his bats be kept in a locker next to his, he would clean them with alcohol every night and weigh them to make sure condensation was not affecting their weight. He went off to war for 3 years and came back and became even more of perfectionist. He went through 3 marriages, his managers hated him, his teammates couldn’t stand him and in fact when he would meet a young woman he would tell her its baseball first, fishing second and then you if I have time.

 

But lets not forget Albert Einstein. The smartest man ever (next to Solomon) he was an absolute train wreck of a husband, father and co-worker. He in fact wrote up a contract for his wife to sign if they were going to get married… here is what it said.

 

And with that his son said “i am the only project my father ever gave up on”. 

 

1 Corinthians 6:20

you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God with your body.

 

*This doesn’t t just mean your physical body… eat right, exercise etc… but rather all that makes us who we are in how God created us. Body, soul, spirit and all that this entails. We honor God in all we do.
