So many of us spend time worrying about the things in life we can’t control. Today I am going to give you four tips that I used when stealing bases that will make you a better employee, spouse, parent or whatever other role you have in your life. The first three (preparation, attention to details, and developing nuance) are all things you can control. The fourth is your reaction to the outcome. You can’t control the results but you can control your reaction to the results and what you are going to do next. Listen today to hear how these things factor into your life and how they factored into me stealing over 400 bases in my career.

Something I have found to be true in my life and in the lives of the people I have coached is that what you focus on expands. What do I mean by that? Well, whatever you put your attention to is going to be the thing that drives you decisions, your mood and your successes or failures. You can use this to your advantage or it can completely handicap your life. By focusing on the positive aspects of your life, those will become what you see the most and be a larger part of your daily experience. Conversely, if you focus on the negative things in life, you will be led down a trail of misery and self-pity. So make a choice today to focus on the positive parts of your day and your life, and stay focused your goals.

Balance in our lives is very important in the long run, but sometimes it takes a burning desire and a relentless, almost stubborn belief that we are going to succeed to achieve our goals. When I was young my only focus was being a Major Leaguer. There was no plan b, no other option and I knew that I wasn’t the most talented player out there. When you put those things together you get someone with a big heart who is willing to do more than everyone else to make it. Listen to my short today to learn about the sacrifices I made (literally sacrificing my teeth) to succeed and ask yourself what are you willing to sacrifice to achieve your dreams?
