Chicago Cub Chris Coghlan

"Staying in the present is hard to do. Nobody does it perfectly--I don't at all. It's a natural tendency for humans to worry and to doubt and to fear and have anxiety about the future. But I think as I've gotten older I've learned to take those thoughts captive and to try to really challenge myself to stay more in te moment of, 'OK, today is what I've been given. I'm going to try to do the best I can do today and not worry about tomorrow.' And then when tomorrow comes do the same thing again."

"That's life, man. It's just the journey--that's what it's about. For me, it's been so much of not getting caught up in what I want to conquer. You just try to enjoy the journey you've been given."
