During the past couple years, a lot of things have changed for me personally.  I graduated from college, I got my first job within my field, the unnamed events of 2020…. the list goes on and on. With all these rapid changes, I have had to learn how to be better as a person in multiple facets. I try to at least work on one, if not multiple, of these objectives everyday, so I can fall asleep knowing I am doing something good each and every day. Below is a current list of objectives I am working on:

1. Be a better friend/family member.

This one is pretty obvious. COVID slowed down a lot of my relationships with friends and extended family, so pursuing those relationships has been tough. However, it is rewarding to have a small group of people that will help you out on your worst day, as well as the reverse.

2. Gather good information.

I was horrible at this in the past. I would give out personal opinions about topics before diving into topics. I have found that keeping quiet can sometimes be the best cure. It has also been beneficial to read more news around the world, the Bible, literature. It is not good to be behind the loop, whether it is within your workplace, the voting booth, and in conversations.

3. Be more efficient with my time.

Having a full-time job, an extra part-time job, cooking, eating, sleeping, being with family and friends, watching baseball…. there has to be a balance between these events. I have to personally make sure I do all of these things, and to do them well.

4. Be a happy optimistic fan of Minnesota sports teams

Welp, this one hasn’t been going well….

 

All jokes aside, this has been a pretty fun season being a Twins fan so far, despite a couple heart wrenching  games within the past few days. The Twins are still in 1st place, and the season is 162 games. Bad games are going to happen, you just have to hope for more of the good ones. I expect a fun matchup tonight, despite a COVID and injury bug running through the clubhouse. Bailey Ober has looked better with each start, and the Royals lineup cannot be enthused about.

Nice intro, Diesel.

 

Just one suggestion, re nr 2: I have found it much easier and less stressful to make information fit my preconceived notions, than the other way around.

What's your advice for handling postconceived notions?  I've got a  pretty good idea about how things should be, but I could probably be convinced otherwise.

The smooth vocal stylings of LaTroy, I'll just settle back and enjoy ?

I really enjoy how LaTroy doesn't hesitate to call out Dick on some of his random comments.
