~:[CH14 - Day 236]:~ Reaching Upward

Although I had a lot to do for the Cow Run, I looked at my upcoming schedule and decided, I should go to the Rascals practice this week in case I couldn't in the future. I actually haven't been to one recently since the summer season ended before I returned, which was the first season for my niece. It was cool to see her play and I was impressed with her dribbling, although not surprised since she always played with her brother. It's cool to watch the youth play as you wonder where they will end up. Not all will end up playing basketball, but no matter what they do, I hope that they push forward and reach upward towards their goals. Life can be intimidating and it's easy to shy away, but when you learn from an early age to accept a challenge, I think you're more able to do so when you're older. I definitely had my moments where I felt discouraged or anxious, but I think going through all those challenging times helped me reach higher as I moved through life. As I close the evening off running an in-house factory making buttons for next weekend, I thought about how my ability to organize events like this are possible since those around me pushed me to believe in myself and reach for great heights. It's scary to fail, but it's even scarier not to fail as by doing so, we learn what to do and how to grow. Even if you're old and gray, it's never too late to set a new goal and reach upwards to see where you can go from here. It's time for liftoff!
