We love a home run, don’t we? The big guy gets up to the plate, swings away, and CRACK! The bat hits the ball right in the sweet spot, and the ball goes flying over the fence. The crowd jumps to its feet and roars. The batter saunters around the bases, sometimes waving his hat in the air to acknowledge the rousing applause.
A lot of people think that the rest of the game is boring. They wait for the home runs. They’re powerful. Flashy. Exciting.

What’s a moment worth? How do you measure a moment? If you’re a gazillionaire making $1 billion a year, a minute is worth about $190,000. If you’re like the rest of us, not that much in terms of dollars. What if we use a different lens? See the value in its ability to change our life, protect us from danger, take our breath away?

Relationships add beauty to our lives. They can be rich and bring incredible joy. But they aren’t always smooth sailing. People ignore us. Ridicule or criticize.
The voice in our head joins the chorus and screams, “I’m not enough.”
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena….and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. –Theodore Roosevelt, from his speech Citizenship in a Republic
