The Four Noble Truths – The Buddha

  1. The truth of suffering
  2. The truth of the cause of suffering
  3. The truth of the end of suffering
  4. The truth of the path that leads to the end of suffering.

These truths are a contingency plan for dealing with the suffering humanity faces – suffering of a physical kind, or of a mental nature.

To stop freezing at the plate in baseball, focus on having a “swing until it’s a ball” mentality, maintain good timing, have a slight pre-pitch movement to avoid being static, practice visualization techniques to stay calm, and actively look for hittable pitches in the strike zone, rather than overthinking and getting paralyzed by the pitcher’s delivery. – Coach Justin, Ultimate Baseball Training
