A New
Beginning
New Year's
Day is special because it marks the beginning of
a New Year. Many individuals make New Year's
resolutions to improve their lives.
Unfortunately, many of these resolutions go by
the wayside in only a couple of weeks or days.
Are you keeping your New Year's resolutions or
didn't you even bother to make any since you
haven't kept the ones you made in the past?
If you
haven't, here is powerful way to improve your
life as well as your golf. Develop the mindset
that every day is a new beginning for the rest of
your life. Also, realize that each day that you
are alive is a gift that you can either use or
abuse. Every night before you go to sleep ask
yourself if you used your gift wisely or did you
just throw it away.
What happens
to most of us is that we expect to wake up
tomorrow and get another gift. As a result, we
don't truly appreciate the limited time that we
have here. Our lives are a gift and every day is
precious since our days are numbered.
However, many
of us waste the days given to us and don't come
close to reaching our real potential. Instead of
making the effort to improve, we make excuses and
put off today what we can do tomorrow. Worse yet,
we put off this year what we can do next year.
Hence, the vicious cycle of broken New Year's
resolutions and wasted opportunities to improve
never ends.
Of course,
there are a lot of things we are doing right.
But, there are some things that each one of us
could do better. So if you truly desire to
improve, start living your life one day at a
time. Every day do the best you can for that day.
If you slip or have a bad day, wipe the slate
clean before you go to sleep and make a firm
resolution to make better use of the gift you get
tomorrow.
This mindset
can be applied to your golf as well. Start
playing golf one shot at a time. Allow every golf
shot to stand on its own. If you make a good
shot, congratulate yourself. If not, start fresh
and don't carry any emotional baggage with you to
the next shot.
Every day,
like every golf shot, offers you the chance for a
new beginning as long as you get up on the right
side of the grass.

"My game had
improved since reading your book and applying
your Mental Tips. Last year was my first year of
golf. When I applied your techniques, I
immediately took 10 strokes off my game. I am
also able to get my game back on track after a
"bad" hole. Thank you for taking the
time to write this book. Not only has it helped
in my golf game, but in other aspects of my life
as well! Thanks again."
