Possible Sunrise

"Trying to sneak a fastball past Hank Aaron is like trying to sneak the sunrise past a rooster." ~Joe Adcock

Hank Aaron was one of American baseball's greatest players. A career batting average of .305, but best known for holding the career home run record of 755 for many years. As Joe Adcock, a fellow ball player said, "you couldn't sneak the fastball by him."

Seeing everything that comes along, being perceptive of life around us seems like a simple concept. When the sun comes up in the morning, do you notice it? Do you expect it be there each morning? You can't let a day sneak past you. You can't let the opportunity slip by without advancing.

Each new day is a new opening, a new chance to do something great for someone else. Maybe pay it forward with some act of kindness to them. It is also a chance to move towards your dreams, getting a little bit closer to something fantastic...a great life.

Experience the sunrise each morning, fill your day with expectation and movement. And when you see the sunset, know that you accomplished something great. And know that the sun will rise again tomorrow with new opportunity, new possibility.

Dreams
by Langston Hughes

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow
