The Last Boy

"It's a tough situation to have the skills and the talent he had, and then say, 'What am I good at?' All he was good at was destroying himself." - Lenny Wadkins, about Mickey Mantle

That was from the book The Last Boy, by Jane Leavy, which in part highlights the sorry decisions made by Mantle throughout his life.

We all have the choice to make our lives better or worse. It begins with the way that we see ourselves. What good can our God-given talents bring, and how do we go about doing that in even the smallest of ways?

Today's a great day to get busy, just like yesterday and tomorrow.
