expectations

What are your expectations? I can guarantee you that whatever they are is what you will achieve.

I was asked by my stepson who was pitching in the baseball game if the Batter has "the secret" and the pitcher has "the secret" who wins?

My answer was that both can win, that you can have a game where your score was lower than your opponents, yet you won...., however to expand further the answer would be what are the expectations of each one? He as the pitcher must be precise as to what he wants the universe to do for him.... does he simply want to throw strikes? Does he want him to miss chasing an outside curve.... does he simply want an out? Does he believe that if the batter gets a hit the field behind him will support him and make sure the batter gets out?

What are the expectations of the batter... to not strike out? To hit the ball deep? To make good contact with the ball? All of those expectations would make an out if the pitchers universe is on....both could win... if the batter hit the ball to deep center field.. a blast of almost 400' and the center fielder makes a great catch at the fence has anyone lost?

Now to step back and speak on my step sons achievements in the game yesterday. He is believing in "the secret" and it shows. I saw 2 fly balls hit to right field that should have been caught fall in for base hits... the universe is so with him on this that it makes sure the ball falls in... it was almost as if it froze the players and the ball floated to the perfect spot...or I could talk about how the other team actually messed up a couple of times when he was pitching... and a base running error ( one of the worst goofs I have ever seen) made it so a simple run did not score... or when the batter took him deep, and his right fielder makes a diving catch for the third out that would have scored at least 2 more runs on him.... the universe was there with him because he believed... it is wonderful seeing the universe help those that want it and believe it...

So as I walk into my day, I need to have a clearer focus on my expectations... and so do you...
