The key to not taking things personally in life is understanding the art of tipping the cap. Listen. Sometimes you're up on that mound and you are dealing, painting corners, off speeds falling off a cliff, you're in rhythm. And then all of a sudden, life sticks a barrel out there, gets a hold of one, goes yard. Outfielders give you a courtesy jog, but that shit was in the nosebleeds before it came off the lumber. Instead of just saying, hey. Nice swing. On to the next one. You start getting you start getting that shoulder loose. You're no, maybe I maybe I'll figure out, put a little more muscle on this next one. Prove to to everyone I belong. Your ego is bruised. Your pride gets in the way. And now you're in your head. You can't find the zone. You're staring at a three tier count. You're going, well, it's because the umpire has it out for me. The crowd's starting to murmur because they don't believe in me. The car just cut me off because they don't respect me. The group didn't invite me because they don't like me. The job didn't hire me because I'm not good enough. The world becomes a projection of your fears and insecurities. And in these moments, it's easy to spiral into feeling like the world has it out for you, to tier pointing fingers and making assumptions when in reality, you're embarrassed. You're scared. You're ashamed. Normal feelings, but lashing out about them won't help you throw a better ball. Listen. Life's gonna keep swinging that stick whether it's you up there or not. It's never personal. It's never about you. There is a power and peace that comes with radical acceptance. So the next time someone takes you deep, tip the cap, throw some seeds in, glove up, new ball blue. Let's keep it pushing.
