#wilddog life

Figure out what you can control, put all your energy there.  Figure out what you cannot control, put zero of your energy there.

And remember... if you don't hunt you don't eat.

batter up

"In playing ball, and in life, a person occasionally gets the opportunity to do something great. When that time comes, only two things matter:  being prepared to seize the moment and having the courage to take your best swing." - Hank Aaron

be bold

"Be bold - and mighty forces will come to your aid."

Excerpt from A Touch of Wonder, by Arthur Gordon...

"Be bold - that was no exhortation to be reckless or foolhardy.  Boldness meant a deliberate decision, from time to time, to bite off more than you were sure you could chew.  And there was nothing vague or mysterious about the mighty forces referred to.  They were the latent powers that all of us possess; energy, skill, sound judgement, creative ideas - yes, even physical strength and endurance in far greater measure than most of us realize."
