One of the wisest and most often-quoted philosophers of our time was Lawrence Peter Berra. You probably know him better as Yogi, Yogi Berra, the beloved and revered catcher for the New York Yankees and one-time manager of the New York Mets.

Along with his baseball prowess, he was known for his Yogi-isms, whimsical statements that had most people scratching their heads because they knew what he meant to say, but failed to say it the way he thought he did. Here are some of his finest:

"The future ain't what it used to be."

"Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded."

"You should always go to other people's funerals; otherwise, they won't come to yours."

"When you come to a fork in the road, take it." And,

“I never said most of the things I said.”

But of all the Yogi-isms ever uttered, one stood head and shoulders above the rest…”It ain’t over ‘til it’s over.” Now, there’s some debate whether he actually uttered those words, but he’s credited with making this statement that’s still quoted and used in our culture today…even the Culture of Christianity.

Many people today, including believers, are anxious, worried, and afraid from the moment they wake up until they put their heads on a pillow at night. They worry about the future, death, crime, the economy, their health, pandemics, gas prices, groceries that are scarce or too expensive to buy, and, when life as we know it will come to an end.

Well, we all might want to find courage and hope in that oft-quoted Yogi-ism. Stay with me, as I share how to tackle your fear by knowing that: It Ain’t Over ‘Til It’s Over!” That’s coming up on this episode of Living Lite Today.
