Life and Youth Baseball

I didn’t realize how much youth baseball was a rehearsal for adult life.  Its not always fair… The calls don’t always go your way. Some people cheat. Some – even though its legal – steal. Sometimes people on your team, those who you can always count on, mess up. Some players get down, frustrated about things they can’t control – like whether it’s their error, a team members error, or one of those bad calls; and while their head is occupied with those thoughts, it messes up what they can control.

Sometimes the game is taken way too serious.

Most of the time a player will play to your expectations.

Like youth baseball, in our adult lives, if you break down every time things don’t go our way, you risk becoming stuck on the “its not fair” mantra and forget to keep on living.  Control what you can and keep doing better, keep on trying, keep on showing up for yourself, for your team/family, for those around you, and hope that they do the same. Life on the team will be so much more enjoyable and I guarantee that you would have more success, if you just let it go – let it be – forget about it, and do your best. Smile and keep playing the game – have fun – enjoy the moment your in. Not the moment that has passed, or the moment that’s to come – enjoy the moment you have now.

It’s a Wonderful World – Dreams Really Do Come True

Somewhere over the rainbow

Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true
Someday I’ll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops thats where you’ll find me oh
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to,why, oh why can’t I?

Well I see trees of green and
Red roses too,
I’ll watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark and I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, “How do you do?”
They’re really saying, I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
They’ll learn much more
Than we’ll know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Someday I’ll wish upon a star,
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top that’s where you’ll find me
Oh, Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dream that you dare to, why, oh why can’t I?   E. Y. Harburg

 

Today I saw a rainbow. It’s a great reminder of hope, and love, and dreams…

Dare to dream and see the beauty in all things.  It is a wonderful world, and dreams really do come true.
