Fine Line
One of the basic fundamentals behind Kenny Rogers’s persona is the concept that there is little difference between being highly motivated and being selfish. Think about it; determination can change your priorities. By focusing on your own goals, you can abandon other important things on the way.

Kenny Rogers admitted that because of his endless drive for performing, he sacrificed a lot in his life, including his wives and good friends. It was when he got married for the fifth time that Kenny realized maybe he was in the wrong, and that his motivation may have made him selfish. This is common for many motivated and successful stars. It almost goes hand in hand, so it’s important to pay attention to it.
