“Difficulties mastered are opportunities
won.”
Nobody becomes
dependable because life went smoothly. We learn something about ourselves when
the plan goes to shit, the work gets harder, and quitting begins to sound
reasonable.
You discover whether you can adjust.
Whether you can ask for help. Whether you will return tomorrow and give the
thing another honest attempt.
The grabber says, “Go Go You ChiSox,” and
that puts a familiar soundtrack behind today’s thought. Baseball offers plenty
of practice in persistence. A long season leaves very little room for believing
that one bad afternoon defines everything.
There is another inning
to play, another adjustment to make, another chance to do your job properly.
Welcome to October.
Square your shoulders,
take your place, and do the work.
Go Go, White Sox.
