“Every strike brings you closer to your next home run.” Babe Ruth
When you hear the name Babe Ruth, what’s the first thing that come’s to mind? Hall of Fame home run hitter (or a candy bar for the younger crowd).
What is not the immediate reaction is “all-time strikeout leader” 1,300 strikeouts! A record for three decades held by Babe Ruth. It was eventually broken by another hall of famer, Mickey Mantle. A name that would be hard to guess, as he’s right next to Babe Ruth in the hall of fame for home run hits.
These two didn’t reach their success through the home runs. They reached it through the strikeouts. Remove those embarrassing misses and we would never know their names.
Every missed lift. Every poor competition. Every embarrassing stumble brings us closer to our goals. This is where we get better, in the effort.
