Greetings from Jim Abbott
Hi Girls,
Thank you for getting in touch with me. What a fantastic forum. I think I learned a new way to tie my shoes!
I just wanted to encourage everybody who might come to this web site to believe in what is possible.
I grew up missing my right hand. It was not always easy, or very fair. But my hand taught me important lessons growing up.
I learned that you can find different ways of doings things, and do them just as well. (Like tying your shoes or switching a baseball glove on and off!)
I learned that it is our responsibility to do the best we possibly can, with what we have. To make the most of what we have been given.
Most importantly, I learned that you must believe in yourself, no matter what circumstances come your way.
If you can do these things, I truly believe wonderful things can happen!
I was lucky enough to play in the Major Leagues. I am very proud of that accomplishment, but I know that I had an incredible amount of support and help along the way.
That’s what it takes, encouragement, and opportunity.
In that spirit, I want to wish everyone visiting this blog the best of luck.
I hope you too will come to believe that life is full of wonderful possibilities, and there’s nothing you can’t do!
My Very Best Wishes,
- Jim Abbott
