“Either you run the day, or the day runs you.” Jim Rohn said this and it powerfully connects to me. The quote means, are you killing time aimlessly or exploiting it purposefully. I try to live everyday with at least one goal, a purpose, an objective. My life can best be described by a softball stolen from a field, memories of my family, and my future career.
A softball is a symbol of my life. My life would be completely different if I didn’t play softball.

It may not be changing their athletic ability, but as little as altering their personality.
The family memories are the past, the softball is the present, and my career is the future. I have the ability to run the day, make my goals, and make every moment the best it can. I have goals, I may not always succeed; but I will always use my best
