When Life Throws You Curve Balls......

Sometimes life throws you curve balls. Even when you fully anticipate it and think you know what you are doing, along comes that pitch that almost takes you out of the game.

You swing hard, but it’s too late.

STRIKE

The anger boils and you want to shout.

Shout about being taking advantage of.

Shout about the lack of gratitude.

Shout about working your tail off for little reward.

Shout about being stabbed in the back.

Shout about friends turning their back on you.

Shout about being rejected.

Shout about not moving forward.

Shout about gaining a couple pounds.

Shout about shouting.

But what good does shouting do. It’s small and bitter and gets you nowhere.

Which is why you gotta get it out, right?

At some point during the shouting, the intense chutzpah needed to fight life back catches you.

It’s up to you.

It’s up to you to either walk away with your head down, feet dragging or to step up to the plate, keep your eye on the ball and start swinging.

It takes three strikes to put you out.

Come back swinging harder and faster than ever have before.

Look life in the eye and say, “Is that the best you've got, because it was piss weak.

Go on and try that again.

The next curve ball you throw, I'm gonna hit outta the park."
