Thought for the Day; A-Rod and “Everybody’s Doing It”
- Alex and me enjoying coffee at Perk
Having a cup of coffee this morning at Madison’s Perk Ave., I got the chance to read the NY Times. Guess who was on the front page?
Alex Rodriguez admitted to using a banned substance during the years 2001 – 2003 when he was with the Texas Rangers. Very regrettably, in his words he got caught up in this, “Everybody’s doing it” era. It was the biggest mistake of his life, he now avows.
“Everybody’s doing it” culture.
We all like A-Rod, have made big mistakes that we regret – because someone bigger and better could come long, because we couldn’t live up to all the expectations. Because we were scared.
Think: Is there something in your life to today that you will regret later? Something that cheapens all that you are, threatens to steal all your natural talents and uniqueness – but seems okay – because “Everybody’s doing it?”
Remember another day, always equals another choice.
