ALL I HAVE TO DO
Desire Without Action Is Only A Wish!
We often like to hear, especially about a substantial project, the words, “All I Have To Do …” These words makes me feel like my hopes and aspirations are going to work out well and that my fears are unfounded!
My good friend, Mike Anthony, writes in his book, ‘The Mental Keys’ ( which you can access at http://www.mentalkeys.com/ ) …
“All I have to do to help you shoot lower scores is show you how to reduce your negative emotions and increase your positive emotions. The more you learn to master your emotions, the better you will play and score. The more you master your mechanics, the lower you will score. It doesn’t get any simpler than that.”
Between Mike and me, ‘The Mental & The Mechanical’, we just provides you ‘Lovers Of The Great Game’ a fresh and practical avenue by which you can get from ‘A To B’ in straighter lines than most! We help you get into your vehicle, point it in the right direction and get on with the ‘Pleasure Of Improving’ by a proven plan.
The ‘Golf Swing’ requires many elements! ‘Fitness, Mechanics, Nutrition, Course Management, Mental Management, Equipment’ and a fair dosage of that old hard work and good fortune! My favourite Uncle once told me, “I’d rather be lucky than smart!” Perhaps I would as well! When ‘Mother Nature’ smiles upon you, be ‘Reverent and Grateful’. Let your ‘Desire, Honesty and that Open Mind’ open doors and pave your way!
Mike goes on to say,
“In golf most negative emotions originate from concerns about the outcome. The key to controlling your emotions is to realize that you cannot serve two masters and be effective. You can choose to be ‘Process Oriented’ or remain focused on the ‘Outcome’.
The only function that the ‘Outcome’ has is to give you feedback and direction that will enable you to make the necessary adjustments to improve your mechanical and mental processes. For example, if you missed because you moved your head, focus on the process of keeping your head still by seeing the ball being hit. If you missed because you had fear, focus on the process of being in the present where fear cannot exist.
If you insist on serving two masters by being concerned with the ‘Outcome’ while you are working on improving or executing the ‘Process’ of correctly hitting, pitching, chipping, or putting a golf ball, you greatly diminish your ‘Probability Of Success’.”
I shall leave you with those cogent thoughts on ‘Golf & Life’!
You cannot go ‘IT’ alone!
Fruitless and often punishing to try!
Life is a ‘Voyage’!
Golf is a ‘Destinationless Journey’ for which there is really no end point … just more way points along the ‘Process’!
When we strive for that far-off horizon, the mountain in the distance, the curvature out to sea, and reach it, we discover that there is yet another off in the distance!
“By standing on the shoulders of giants,
we can see farther than they!”
Climb upon such shoulders as Mike and I provide!
We are here because you are there!
“Welcome aboard!”
“Enjoy The Ride!”
