Don’t you ever forget that all things are possible with God. Keep fighting through the storm you are currently facing. The sunshine is waiting for you on the other side, but the only way out of it is through it. Don’t quit.
I appreciate Wilyer Abreu for making it so that I don’t feel like a complete asshole staying up to watch the Red Sox on the west coast during this lost season.
Derek Jeter shares the mindset that carried him through 20 years in New York.
"I was not afraid to fail. I have failed plenty."
"I failed in spring training. I failed in the regular season. I failed in the postseason. The World Series. But I'm not afraid of it."
"I've always had the ability to separate one day from the next."
The skill isn't to avoid failure - it's to be able to move past it.
"You can't play our sport - and more importantly, you can't play in New York - if you're not mentally strong."
"You will be tested. There are expectations. There are responsibilities. There are pressures."
"But I was just never afraid to fail."
Fear of failure is heavier than failure itself.
Mental toughness isn’t about avoiding fear. It’s standing tall in the middle of it.
Keep showing up and doing the work.
"It's your job to make sure that a speed bump doesn't become a roadblock.
Failure is essential.
If I can promise you one thing for certain, you will fail.
I failed publicly, miserably...but I would not have had the success without the failures."
