I never blame myself when I'm not hitting. I just blame the bat and if it keeps up I change bats. After all if I know it isn't my fault that I'm not hitting how can I get mad at myself?
My goals have changed throughout my life. At one time it was winning awards selling out concert dates selling more albums than anyone else. Now my goals are to see my grandchildren grown live a long and healthy life with my family and friends and travel the world.
