Making the Right Moves Joshua Young
What’s an all time American sports favorite? As a kid I use to play baseball and any-bounce with the kids in my neighborhood. When we got started on a sport we would play all day different sports until they ran their course.
This story is told by a boy named Monty. As I read it could be that Monty is grown now and re-visiting activities he played in his youth. Guess what? When Monty played baseball with his friends they let girls play with them too.
Monty thought he had baseball down pact. He know his position and he played it every game; first base. Until one day he had a bad game. He did just about everything wrong. There were three two other fields next to the one the kids played next to and Monty was too busy watching the adults play baseball. He was at first base getting one player from the other team out and then threw the baseball past the home base allowing the runner home to score. He couldn’t win for losing.
The next day Monty went up to the baseball field but he didn’t play. He just sat in the bleachers and watched. One of the adults was in the bleachers with him and began to talk to him.
What Monty found out was that he was playing the wrong position. Shocking ain’t it. How many of us are playing the wrong position in our lives as adults. We wonder why things go wrong or not as we planned them out. We make goals of things we want to accomplish but don’t do or know the proper way of going about accomplishing them.
Monty talents were in the outfield even though he preferred first base so he knowledge there also. Another note to take from this reading is that Monty was a person who knew how to take constructive criticism and advice. We can all learn a lot from Monty.
