Oh, this is so helpful. So Dolly Parton can't read music. Michael Jackson couldn't read music. I think when I was growing up, I kind of had this idea that if I was going to do anything, I had to excel at all the parts of it.

This idea that you have to be good at everything to be good at something. Like, you don't have to be good at something to be good at something.

Maybe there's just something that there's some part of it that you just don't do.

Because at a certain time, events are foreclosed or something just isn't possible anymore or it's not realistic anymore. I remember when my husband and I first got married, We were moving cities a couple times, and my mother and father said to us, well, if there's someplace you want to go, get there.
