Writing About Stuff

Here I am writing about life and that is why blog is called herbslookatlifeandsport. I realized just right now that part of life is just stuff. In fact probably a good part of our life is about stuff. The good and bad stuff; we need to figure how to throw away the bad stuff though. Of course it is easier said than done.

What do I mean saying stuff? It is everything that is around us; all things that does not include us. Yes it could include people too. This is especially true of those who can keep us sidetracked to what we are destined to do in this life. I feel love is the most important part of life however it doesn’t change some people who should not always be part of our life. We can love them at the same time. We can be there for them when needed but not all the time. I am sure there are some people we want to fix however there are those who can’t be fixed because they don’t want to be fixed. A lot of fixing there just kidding! This is part of the stuff we must decide to put into another pile and go into a storage unit. LOL Other words we don’t want to throw it away but we don’t want to see it all the time either.

This morning I was reading a story in the sports section of the local paper about the Seattle Mariners centerfielder Leonys Martin. He is an outstanding defensive centerfielder one of the best in all of the major leagues. Anyway he is sharing about his hitting which he has been struggling at. His batting average has been around .200. Because of his defense he is worth a lot to the Mariners however he says that talking with hitting coach Edgar Martinez and the manager Scott Servais he has to stop swinging so hard and just put contact on the ball to be successful. We will see how he proceeds through the season however I thought this is a good philosophy for us all to stop swinging so hard and just have contact. Swinging so hard is one of the stuff we should throw out.

So the ending to this blog or story we need to get rid of all the bad stuff so we can enjoy all the good stuff. Life will be so much happier for us all if we do so. The stuff is not just people like I mention or belongings we have it can be our attitude too. Let’s begin today and get rid of all the bad stuff. We can begin this with a smile. Have a great weekend everyone!
