Are You Up To Bat Yet?

When I am out and about shopping, I love to experience as much as possible, especially by trying new things.  This includes going into any and every store that might catch my eye or intrigue me in some way.  No matter the price range, the eclectic nature of the store, the type of store; the more different and unique, the better the experience. Wandering into this unknown abyss intrigues and excites me while window shopping.  I savor every moment while trying a new and different experience, even if it turns out not worth my time after all.  You just never really know for sure if you will enjoy the store or not until you actually enter the building and look around, touching, feeling, even slipping into a dress or two that you have been drawn to within the store.  There have been plenty of times I have walked into a store that didn't look like much on the outside and walked out with amazing and beautiful finds by not allowing others to guide my eyes and interest.  

Just as in baseball, or any sport for that matter, you have to at least try first.  A batter doesn't step up to home plate ready for their turn, only to think, this isn't going to be my day to hit anything and put the bat down and leave the game.  They step up to that plate and do one of two things, hit the hell out of that ball and get themselves into the game or strike out.  Either way, they made a choice to try and experience all that the game has to offer.

If you aren't allowing yourself to get into the game, you aren't experiencing life.  Who cares if you strike out.  Every player doesn't hit the ball and make it home, if they did baseball games would last days and not hours.  Don't let your fear of what could or couldn't be stop you from living your life to the fullest.  Get out there and get into the game.  Go ahead and strike out!  Eventually you will hit the ball and will be rounding the bases without even realizing what you have done.  Remember, life is what you make of it, so make it spectacular!
