Last week my husband and I went to see Moneyball. I am not a sports fanatic, but I thought it was a good movie.
In my opinion, the best part is near the end when one character is showing another character a baseball clip. The baseball player in the clip had a real fear of running to second. He is at bat, hits the ball, runs for first and decides to run for second. Rounding first base, he slips, falls, and scrambles on his hands and knees back to first. Everyone is shouting and laughing at him. He finally realizes that they are shouting at him to run. He hit a home run! He was so concerned with failing that he did not notice his awesome success—a home run!
How often do we do that? How many times have we succeeded, maybe succeeded big, and yet we do not even notice it because we are so focused on failure? Try to see the success in every “failure” because often it is not a failure at all!
