Hitting the Curve Balls
How about one of those weeks?
It has been quite a year for us, I’ll admit; with a lot of curve balls masquerading as changes and uncertainty. Getting through tough times means you either have to roll with the punches or do your best to fight through whatever comes your way but no matter what, don’t lie down and take it till it beats you. I’m not always the best about following this particular advice but I know you should also stay positive. You have to hope and eventually expect that there will come a time when whatever difficulty you are facing will pass or at some point get better.
As life continues to throw curve balls, I’ve learned that the best way to stay positive is to have someone right there by your side. Whether it is your spouse, a best friend or another family member, remember to keep them close and to be honest about what you are going through because no one should have to fight through any difficulty by themselves. Having the support of a loved one and a positive attitude will beat being alone and negative any day of the week.
Whether we wish it or not, we all have to be prepared for more curve balls in life. And whether we admit it or not, most of us still have a lot to learn as we face each new challenge. I know I won’t say I’ve learned all I can learn from the obstacles I’ve had to face so far. I admit there is always room for improvement when it comes to attitude, expectations and growth. When it comes to life’s curve balls, I will do my best to stay positive, duck when I have to and when I’m able I will attempt to swing my hardest. Sometimes it doesn’t hurt to show life you’re not afraid to take on a curve ball or two.
