Doing The Impossible - Feeling Good

“If you don’t like where you are, change it! You’re not a tree” – Jim Rohn

How often do you smile when you are playing? Once a round….twice…three times. I’m guessing, you probably have never thought about it and never took note. Have you ever wondered how many times you get upset with yourself? But, I’m certain you did take note of the situations where your golf just didn’t work out in your favour.

As you would probably guess “smiling” is a modality about feeling good. But before I continue, what has to happen in order for you to feel good?
Do you need to be able to hit a 300 yard shot?
Do you need to hit below par?
Do you need to hit below your handicap?
Do you need to hit every shot on the fairway?
Do you need to win every competition that you enter?
Do you have to achieve all your goals?
Do you have to be told that you are respected and appreciate you by your peers?
Do you need to be known by the right people?

What really has to happen in order for you to feel good? The truth is that nothing has to happen in order for you to feel good. You can feel good right now for absolutely no reason what so ever.

“As long as we structure our lives in a way where out happiness is dependent upon something, we cannot control, then we will experience pain” – Tony Robbins

Therefore they key to you succeeding in the game of golf is about feeling good about yourself. It’s really simple.

If you apply this rule from this day forwards - “that no matter what happens, you are going to enjoy playing”.

To adopt this rule is to raise your standards. It means that you will hold yourself to higher standards of enjoying yourself despite the condition of the moment. It really means that you are conditioned yourself to commit to being more intelligent, more flexible, more creative and more focus. It will allow you to experience the true richness of life.

Golf is a reflection of your life. Life is a variable event. So why not take it with a smile.
