Two Things I Learned from Darryl Strawberry

With the success of the Mets this year, I've had a chance to reconnect with all the guys I got to know so well during their big run of hot teams in the 1980s. In a recent episode of The Hook-Up, I sat down with Darryl Strawberry to discuss his life: his career in baseball, his struggles and his ultimate turnaround with Strawberry Ministries.

I learned a lot from Darryl about how he changed his life from the homer-slugging kid I knew in the 1980’s to the minister he is now helping people change their lives.

1. Material “success” is just a phase of life

Too many of us look for stuff to fulfill our lives. Darryl had a pro baseball career with all the accolades- World Series titles; All-Star appearances-but his life was lacking and he hit roadblocks. He fell into drug problems, dealt with going to jail and even had to battle cancer. 

All of these experiences made him realize that understanding the difference you’re making in people’s lives is most important. Being selfless and giving of your time for the benefit of others is a heck of a lot more impactful than how far you can hit a baseball.

2. “You were made for greatness.”

Everyone in the world needs to have self-awareness and an understanding that they can have a positive influence in the world if they avoid distractions. Every life is worth living.

  • My purpose out here today is to share this article to the world about how Doctor Odunga helped me in getting back my EX-boyfriend who broke up with me 4 months ago. I tried all I could to make him see reasons with me so that we can continue our relationship but he denied me. Thank God for giving me the thought of going into the internet for help, I searched properly and I saw different reviews of Doctor Odunga and I insisted on giving it a try by contacting him via what’s app on (+2348167159012). He gave me reason to live again and he prepared a spell and told me that my Ex-boyfriend will come back to me within 28 hours. Can you believe it, my EX-boyfriend came back to me and our wedding will be held Soon. Contact him now!!! if you need any help. Email: odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and he does a lot of spells. Once again i want to say am very grateful for your help
