AYD - June 26, 2014 - Swing Batta Batta

“Every strike brings me closer to the next home run.”
- Babe Ruth

Fall down 7 times, get up 8.  Same message.
Learn from your mistakes.  Same message.
Just keep swimming...just keep swimming.  Same message.

If we stand and let the ball go by without a swing, we argue on it twice.  Once with ourselves for the indecision and lack of action; and once with the guy yelling out to the world that we just missed a wonderful opportunity with one universally understood word.

"Stttteeeerike !!!"

And we plead our case with excuses.

"That was up here!"  ( Translation - I was afraid to reach.)
"That wasn't near the plate!" ( Translation - I was uncertain.)
"Are you blind?!" ( Translation - I missed that opportunity, how did you see it?)

But if we swing for the fences ... everyone, including ourselves, know we mean business and we are not afraid to put ourselves in play.

Take a swing, you will energize.
Catch a piece of that ball, and watch how all those players stand up at attention on the next pitch.

Good morning, Greater day.
Greater you, shows people you can reach the outfield.
Swing Batta Batta.
