Deep down inside, I always knew I was a great person, but I didn’t realize how many flaws I had in my character and why I had those flaws. So, instead of understanding how to address those flaws in my character to cover up the pain I had within me, I would disconnect from who I was. When you disconnect from who you are, you disconnect from everything that makes you who you are. When I was angry, I disconnect. When I was happy, I would disconnect. I couldn’t show love, I couldn’t show gratitude. Because if I didn’t disconnect from who I was, I wouldn’t have a chance to perform on a nightly basis on the baseball field. And if I didn’t perform, I wouldn’t have a job. I believed that If I figured out how to rewrite my story, I would discover gifts and dreams I had lying dormant within myself. And when I discovered and connected with those gifts and dreams, I could use them to help solve someone else’s problem. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paco-baltazar/support
