Gaining on 50 and on Understanding
As I sit 42 days away from beginning my 50th year on this planet, I was reminded that this number is just that, a number. The famous Negro Leagues pitcher Satchell Paige when asked how he thought he would fare as a pitcher in the Major Leagues at the ripe old age of 42 said, "If you didn't know how old you were, how old would you be?" A great answer from a great man, who went through tough times to realize his dream of playing against the best baseball players in the world.
As I reflect on the adversity he endured, I wonder if this world, as it currently stands is the best that the collective consciousness of its 6 Billion Inhabitants can do. With so many suffering from disease, malnutrition, auspicious circumstances and the like, is it so incredibly tough to follow the lead of a few honorable individuals, who gave up thinking about their own personal gain in order to help others? How can we all take one step to remove these dreaded circumstances from our planet that affect so many of us? Something to think about.
I am writing a book on how to overcome these conditions and when published, I will set up Non-Profit Foundations to assist those in need and help them help themselves. It is the least I can do to leave this place/reality in better shape than I found it. What will you do?
