Life Is Too Short To Think Little

Not to take anything away from the true source, in his book, The Magic of Thinking Big, David Schwartz, PhD quotes Benjamin Disraeli’s “Life is too short to be little.”

I have a tendency to tweak quotes a bit to fully squeeze the juice out of them and apply them to my current state.

Life is too short to think little. And therein lies 20 years of AKASPORT and beyond… we are more than just a youth sports camp, AKA is a calling for something bigger than the sum of its individual parts.

January was energized. Felt as though we were shot out of a cannon! AKA programs booming, projects being lifted at a pace and execution like never before, Joe Mauer the multi-sport legend now Minnesota Twin is an MLB Hall of Famer, and yes, its 50 degrees in late January in Minnesota, so why not get out there and get pumped!!

Let’s work together to promote each other’s passion/business, and support youth sports and healthy living! chris@akasport.org

“Life is too short to be little. You must enlarge your imagination and then act on it.”

— Benjamin Disraeli, former two time British Prime Minister in the 1800s

Yet, as energized and positive as January was, I will continue to approach each day, month, and year with the mentality that you never know what’s going to happen. “Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.” You can bank on knowing its not going to stay like this, weather wise, or the positive trajectory of operations and otherwise. Cold and clouds, turbulence and difficulties, and unknown variables are always bound to hit us again. So we prepare, we join forces, and we partner up so that we can go bigger and farther.

The one pager picture with our customer map and graphs at the top of the page is only a snapshot of our 28 page Partner Guide. We are seeking Partners like never before -- Youth Sport Vendors, Field Trip Destinations, Dream Biggers, Health minded businesses and corporations, and yes, Grantors and Donors to support our mission to go farther over the next 20 years.

I would love to share more with any of you who are interested in joining forces. Shoot me an email or text/call anytime. Let’s hit February strong and fast and keep this momentum going.

Run ‘em when they’re young. And I don’t just mean the kids. Keep after it good people and well wishes to all. -CS
