Fdip315: The Joy of Baseball

Published: April 29, 2014, 4 p.m.

When you elevate something that is not important and dedicate some passion to it, you are living your life to the top.\xa0 I don\u2019t care what it is: running, playing the guitar, tasting wine, watching a TV show about a mad man in a blue police box flying through space and time, cooking, eating, even podcasting.\n\xa0\nI am, and have been since I was a small child, a fan of the Boston Red Sox.\xa0 The game is one of my passions. \xa0\n\xa0\nThe purpose of this episode; if there was a purpose, was to demonstrate the importance of passion in our lives and to highlight, for those who may not be fans of baseball or of my beloved Boston Red Sox, how it feels to not appreciate or understand another persons passion.\xa0 I\u2019m not really into movies or theater, I don\u2019t understand someone\u2019s passion for dance, baking, T'ai chi ch\u2019uan, floral arraignment, crochet or scrap-booking\u2026but I can appreciate the passion someone might have for those things, and I\u2019ll keep an open mind for my own possibly developing passion for those things and more.\n\xa0\nLife is short, but it should be long enough\u2026and the universe offers us so much to experience, enjoy and be passionate about.\xa0 Find your passion, whatever it is, and you\u2019ll find your joy.\n\xa0\nPlay Ball!\n\xa0\nLinks:\n\xa0\nMelodious advice by Neil on Twitter @neilbearse\xa0\n\xa0\nBoth opening and closing themes songs were by Jim Fidler at .\n\xa0\nThe song - \u201cLoud Like Love\u201d was by the band Placebo from London.\xa0 Find all of their amazing alternative music and videos over at \n\xa0\nFitBit at .\n\xa0\nIntervals between episodes, and Burning 40 updates can be found at steverunnerblog.com\n\xa0\nIn Vino Veritas with at \n\xa0\nONLY IF YOU LIKE IT: (But really, PLEASE, only if you can afford it!)
