Why is the contract of the first basemen Prince Fielder, such a big deal? Ok Fielder just agreed to play for the Detroit Tigers ( nine year 214 million)! That is alot of money and the 4th largest contract in the history of the game. I personally do not believe any one professional athlete is worth that kind of money. What an awesome platform to set a positive example to the youth of the world what is of great value. With a contract like that how many athletes / actors.. etc take what is given to them and give it to a cause greater than themelves? What or how do you define the word legacy? Joe Paterno, the late great head football coach at Penn State. A question was asked during the service of his life, "What or how would one define the word legacy?" Then the speaker said, "A legacy is very hard to define but once see it you never forget it." Everyone who new and loved Joe, encountered a legend on and off the field and he will never be forgotten because of the impression he made in my life and so many others.
It's certainly a fast paced world. Everyone has busy schedules and stays busy with work, family and friends. Is it really all about you? Do we stop to consider how we can invest our time to change the world to make it a better place. It's time to slow down and evaluate what is important in our lives. Are our lives filled with large houses, that new sports car and expensive getaways? All these things are simply material possessions and a quick fix that still leaves a hole in our hearts and a emptiness that can't be described. I encourage my readers to step out in faith and to be passionate about giving to others and putting others and go be filled and completely satisfied in living a full and meaningful life. Do you want to leave a legacy how will they remember you?
