A Good Life Lesson.....

Sometimes I feel anxious.  I tend to worry about things that I cannot control...I tend to worry about how people feel about me...I need to become a little bit thicker skinned.  Coaching high school softball I have definately realized.....I NEED to become thicker skinned.  I  have realized I will never be able to please everyone.  Here's the thing...I stand by every decision I have made!  I have no qualms with how i've handled certain situations.. have I learned a few things...ABSOLUTELY!, are there things i won't do again.....ABSOLUTELY!  But, I am here to do good, I am trying to do good,  I am hoping to instill good qualities in these girls while also helping them become excellent softball players.  Why is it that people so often lose sight of what is truly important?  It's funny, as I was thinking about these people who have a "confllict" with me, I realized that while they think they are upset with me, I believe they are upset with life circumstances.  As I have truly reflected on this situation, I can honestly say that I was fair, I handled the situation the best I knew how, and my intentions were good and that is all I can do, so if this person chooses to dislike me....that is NOT my burden to bear.  I cannot, all I can do is the best I can and I truly try to treat each girl with respect and kindness.  All I can do is continue to get better.  I will continue to learn and grow as a person and as a coach.  I'm sure I will make mistakes, but I will learn from them and move forward and I will continue to do the best I can.  SO....today I am "walking away" and focusing on the things that are important in life!
