Through many years, I've been focusing on the pitch and the outcome of whether or not I actually hit the ball to make it on base. I've realized that it's more about watching the movements the pitcher makes to throw each particular pitch. Will she curve her wrist, smack her glove to scare me, or throw a ball? If I can see what she does as she throws each pitch, I can be better be prepared for that brief moment when the ball reaches the batter's box. The outcome is now the result of my observances and my reaction to each of the pitcher's movement. I'm in control and I choose how I want the game to end.

Life Defined by Moments


Look back on time, what do you see? 
A man in his 90s will tell stories of war, of love, and of becoming a man.
A woman in her 90s will tell stores of travels, love, and about her family.
None of which mention materialistic things that have seemed to consume our souls in today’s society. 
Is it money that now defines the human race?
Has social media caused us to earn respect by showing images of what money can buy?
Why doesn’t anyone believe in earning respect through personal pleasure and hard work? 
Is anyone really happy anymore?  Has the primary definition of happiness changed throughout the years?

If we are happy then why must we show the world images of something fake, something bought, or something only to be recognized by the brand?
Let us reestablish our lives by being true to ourselves and others. 
Let us now tell stories of our lives defined by moments and not by product consumption.
