Physical health, mental health, parenting, career … all things that are more a process than a destination. You think you’ve got your arms wrapped around it and all is proceeding perfectly – and will always be perfect! finally! I did it! – and then you check in with yourself at some random point and you realize your arms aren’t wrapped around the thing anymore, and maybe never were. Because these aren’t things that you can just hold onto and be finished with. Process, not a destination. Check in with yourself from time to time, be honest, and be prepared to start the process again. (I’m talking to you, Brett …. )

Mike Napoli was a candidate for a cubs coaching job, and even interviewed with the team before their recent hires. but ultimately, after retiring just a few weeks ago, he doesn't mind having a little time off. would make a great coach somewhere when ready.
