Today I was hitting the pickleball back and forth with this really sweet 10 year old. She was playing really well! She hit it into the net a few times and said, “I keep doing that ”. I said, “But you hit it over more than you hit it into the net”. So then I started keeping track. When we were done, I told her she hit 6 into the net but hit 25 over! Her eyes lit up. (Perspective).
Now I just need to remember that little lesson when I get down on myself for making a mistake. Don’t we all? We go through life doing pretty dang good most the time but it’s those mistakes that we seem to magnify. Let’s just stop and thank God for the 81 1/2% of the day that we get right.
