April brings a lot of spring showers, along with some tears. I keep reminding myself that it is okay to cry when I am struggling emotionally and mentally.
I would argue that hitting a baseball is one of the most challenging things to do. I also believe that hitting a baseball is more mental than physical.
How do you feel when you step up to the plate and repeatedly fail?
As we know, baseball is a game that is just like life. Adults step up to the plate and go to work everyday and experience failure. Sometimes, especially after I receive a lot of no’s, it begins to take its toll on me. And sometimes, this leads to me shedding tears as a way to heal.
As you are experiencing the heartaches of winning baseball games and trying to win at the game of life, remember to:
- Be a trustworthy person
- Develop meaningful relationships with trustworthy people
- Share your feelings with trusted people
- Cry
- Keep on trying
