So its officially baseball season and as I was watching the Cubs game the other day, I came to the realization that life is a lot like a baseball game. Its a slow and steady game that takes patience. You go through slumps. You strike out, sometimes a lot. And you'll make mistakes both physical and mental at crucial times. But in the end as long as you know the fundamentals of the game and you can take it head on, your insight and perseverance will pay off.
In baseball you start off as a rookie, watching and learning from the seasoned pros, you'll strike out, make mistakes and get benched but you take the lessons you've learned as you progress. In life you are born and learn what to do in life by watching your parents you'll make mistakes, get in trouble at school, get in a fight, get rejected by someone you like, but you learn and go on with your life. As you get more field time and mature you learn more about what you are capable of learn your strengths and weakness and play off of those. You'll take more chances because you have faith in yourself and so does your team (family and friends). You are becoming comfortable in your own skin and learning that even though you strike out sometimes, every time you put yourself out there you are increasing your chances of succeeding. You'll get those big home runs, graduate college, land your first real job, get married have kids and enjoy the game along the way. Baseball is a team sport and requires the coordination and support of all the players to succeed. In life the support from friends and family will help you by giving you that extra push you need to do something out of the box, and motivate you to believe in yourself and what you are able to achieve. In baseball and life big changes can happen in a matter of seconds and it all comes down to how you play the game and the players you have on the field with you.
"Never let the fear of striking get in your way" ~Babe Ruth
