You don't pick the moment

Nobody talks about this: trade deadline hits, a guy finds out on Twitter he's got new teammates in a new city by tomorrow morning. He didn't choose it. He can't control it. But here's what nobody tells you, the players who last 15 years aren't the ones obsessing over where they get placed. They're the ones who show up and perform wherever they land. Here's the mistake most people make. They waste energy fighting the trade they can't stop instead of controlling their at bat right now. You don't pick the moment. You pick what you do inside it.
