#strikingout

~Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game~

My go to quote almost everyday 💟

Your just not good enough!

  I never really liked joining in on the neighborhood baseball games. It was usually too hot or there was too much physical exertion to be made on my part, but the biggest reason, I was inferior. I never could time my swing out to hit the ball. Baseball just wasn’t my cup of tea. Having a tea party, well that was another story. My brother was the baseball player of the neighborhood. Even being…

Baseball is a game of failure.   How many endeavors in life allow you to fail 7 out of 10 times and be considered a “Hall of Fame” contributor??

College is an unforgiving environment, but a relatively safe place to “fail” when you think about it.    It is easy for a college student to give up and simply stop showing up for class when the going gets tough.   Yes it may cost you some money if you fail, but there is learning in failure.   The biggest lesson is simply showing up and working hard, despite the potential for failure.   Regardless of the outcome, you will learn and that stays with you for life!!   

Continuing the baseball metaphor, more plate appearances means more hits, despite the looming prospect of striking out or failing more times than you succeed!   Each time you swing the bat you get a little better and you learn a little more!!

Keep showing up, keep working hard, do your best to stay focused on what matters most.   Give it your best swing!!
