LiFE Is A BaLL gAMe, YoU ARe the PiTCheR

All the eyes are on you
everyone is watching how you perform 
strike = good
ball = miss the target
hit = good if your defense can play it
home run = bad bad bad, ugh
grand slam = super bad, bummer

Metaphor for life
You are the pitcher
The ball is your actions
The batter is who or what you are interacting with

You want to throw strikes (do the right stuff)
You'll throw balls a lot - it's inevitable
Sometimes with the best intentions we just miss the target (foul)
If your actions take a hit you have to play it right
Be sincere, be honest and get the ball back in play 
(realign your actions)
A home run would mean your actions got away from you
The consequence is unacceptable
But you don't quit
A grand slam would be a major screw up
But you don't quit
Until the game has been played out 
And there is nothing left to do

Even at that point
You don't give up
There will be another batter
Another game

Learn from the previous batter
The previous game
