A friend sent me this video of Mr. President #1 playing at one of his basketball games this season. In the video, he dribbled to the basket, saw an opportunity to score, took a shot and missed. Don't worry about a thing though, because he gained possession of the ball again, made his way to the basket, and...SWOOSH! HE SCORED!!
I am sharing this video with you today to encourage you to take a lesson from this little guy. If at first you don't succeed, try and try again. Mr. President #1 could have been discouraged because he didn't make that first basket, but he was determined to get some points on the scoreboard, and that's exactly what he did. If you don't succeed on the first try, pick yourself up and try again. Some of the most successful people in history failed on their first attempt. None of us are perfect. We may not get things exactly right the first time, but aren't you glad we have the opportunity to try again and again? Be like Mr. President #1: take the shot as many times as you can, and I bet you'll make that basket!
