Be The Ball

I heard something pretty profound today. I would like to share it with you. If you know anyone dealing with adversity or going through a tough time in their life, please share this with them. Darren Hardy, author of THE COMPOUND EFFECT, and publisher of SUCCESS Magazine, calls it "be the ball." It was actually a quote from the movie Caddyshack. Hardy said when you fall - WHEN, not IF - don't collpase or lose hope. You have not failed. Bounce back up. The bounce converts a fall into victory and tha harder you fall, the higher you can bounce, Hardy said. Hardy said the impact when we hit the bottom will be painful, but that pain is what creates the force and energy to send you in the right direction again. Hardy said restoration begins once you bounce. The ball begins to regain its shape after the impact of the fall. Your identity is not defined in the fall, but rather by your ability to rebound decisively, Hardy continued. He said, you will rise up again, quite possibly higher than you were before your fall. If you are struggling, be the ball, as Darren Hardy suggests. You will fall, the impact will be felt, you will experience restoration and you will be elevated.
