Your life is not a game, but if it were, you would always be at a critical moment and in critical place. What you do will determine an outcome for not only you but also for others directly or indirectly.
You are always at the plate. So, can you guarantee success? Can you give a successful outcome a better than even chance? Possibly. Direct your attention in one direction and one direction only, the direction of the pitch. Focus on the incoming ball. No distractions.
What if the pitcher is the best in the league? He still has to throw the ball, doesn’t he? Assume the ball is self-propelled. Assume that the pitcher has nothing to do with throwing the ball. Now you face only the ball, albeit a moving one. Here it comes. Get ready to swing.
Feel the moment? Feel some tension? Adrenalin rushing through you?
Of course, no one feels that every moment bears such importance and drama. But why not? You live only in the moment in a single place. Here comes the next pitch. Where’s your focus, and what are you going to do with it?
