I ran across an article titled “11 Epic Life Lessons for My Kids from the ‘Sandlot’”, since “The Sandlot” is one of our favorite movies I thought I would share a few of them over the next few days.

Lesson 1 – Show up and try.

“Smalls” makes a decision to give it a shot.

He has a plastic mitt and no experience but gives it a shot anyway.

This is a great life lesson for all of us.

Just try something.

You don’t have to be great at everything. In fact, when you try something new you will stink at it.

Try anyway.

Make it a great day.
