How to Get Kicked Off a Baseball Team

"It all starts with a SMILE"

In 1987, Dave Bresnahan, the catcher for
the Williamsport Bills minor league
baseball team, emptied his hands. And got
some amazing results.

Dave threw to third base to try to pick off
the baserunner. When his throw sailed over
the third baseman's head, the runner took
off for home. Only to find Dave waiting to
tag him with the baseball.

In this amazing, but true, story, Dave had
thrown a potato he'd hidden in his uniform! I'll
tell you what happened to him in a
moment...

Two weeks ago we discussed the new Fun
Commandment, Empty Your Hands.

There is one paradoxical requirement for
your greater sharing of life's
abundance. In order to receive, you must
give. This paradox is a rule handed
down through our history and I've created a
Fun Commandment around it: Empty
Your Hands.

And this Commandment finds its way to you
because there is another aspect to
the rule of giving. You receive that which
you give. Thus, you can decide
what you will give and have more influence
over what you will receive. Can
you guess what I want you to give? You get
three and the first two don't
count!

I want you to freely give healthy fun and
humor to your friends because that
is exactly what you need in return to be at
your healthiest and most
successful. But, of course, this
Commandment works with any resource - time,
assistance, friendship, energy, money, etc.

Emptying your hands works like this:

1. You decide what you most want from
life. Most of us have the same basic
desires of happiness, acceptance, self-
respect, and love. Material desires
like money, achievement, adulation, etc.
are okay too.

2. You create specific opportunities to
purposefully and lovingly give away
those very things which you most want from
life. If you want happiness, pick
one person each day and dedicate yourself
to their happiness. If you want for
money, set aside 10% of your income to
joyfully give away (even before you
have paid your bills).

3. You give away those things you most
want, generously and lovingly, at every
opportunity. Consciously and openly hope
the recipient of your gifts benefits
greatly from them.

Every time you practice this exercise, your
hands will become empty. And
you'll be amazed at what appears to fill
them! Just remember, as you enjoy
your new gifts of abundance, to repeat the
cycle again to receive more. And
please let me know, too, what you find in
your empty hands. I'd love to hear
about it.

And, by the way, Dave Bresnahan was kicked
out of that baseball game in 1987. And the
next day, he was kicked off the team. But
his stunt was so popular that the
Williamsport Bills called him back to
recreate it a year later. And retire his
number!

Some Humor to Help You Smile

"A conclusion is the place where you got
tired of thinking."
Steven Wright



"If a kid asks where rain comes from, I
think a cute thing to tell him is "God
is crying." And if he asks why God is
crying, another cute thing to tell him
is "Probably because of something you did."
Jack Handy
