My Kind of Town
Just like Babe Ruth did…
Bonus week of Comedy Around the World, coming to you from wonderful Chicago. I went to Friday’s Cubs game–sat in the bleacher seats (paid 1/2 off face value for my ticket), met new friends in the stands, met the new Tom Petty, learned how to navigate the red line. How did I do all this?
By NOT focusing on perfection. My only goal was to see a Cubs game while I was in Chicago. All the rest were just details that I believed would work themselves out. And they did! More wonderfully than I could have ever planned.
That day of the game, I was living in the essence of humor: I could actually feel the freedom of being in the flow. Just riding the wave of trust. Sure it would go up and down. Like when I missed our Penn State group’s game day on Wednesday. When I couldn’t find a game schedule online. Forgetting my sunglasses the day of the game. Or when it started to rain. But the positive waves more than compensated for all that.
Make Believe. That’s all it takes. Make a goal. Then believe that everything will work itself out for that goal to transpire. And when it does, it will be better than you could have ever dreamed.
“Get Your SHINE Together!” so your team can win, too!
