FacebookAppreciate & Go With The Flow ~
Going with the flow along the fairway of life means giving up control of trying so hard to figure it out, which usually brings frustration. (Believe me – I have tried to do it this way for 36 years of my golfing life). It means you’ve got to get out of your own way and allow the Well-Being in. It means you’ve got to get out of your head and into your heart space. Stop trying so hard to figure it out and surrender to the pure positive energy that is always flowing through you.
This pure positive energy is what golfers and athletes have come to call The Zone. In order to experience this comes the wisdom that you are not doing it. It is being done through you. You just have to let it be done and allow it to be. Let it be easy is the mantra. This is the simple secret that you have been asking for – and you already know it. I am just reminding you to the understanding of how life really works. The best and quickest way to get into this state of being in The Zone is by being in a state of complete and utter appreciation.
What all athletes and golfers really want is the freedom and understanding to fully express them selves. What all athletes and golfers really want is to play to their full potential - being resistant free or in a state of allowing. I am here to remind you that life is an eternal process and we will never get it all done. The spice of life is living joyfully in this gap between where you are now and where you desire to be next.
I am here to remind you that surrendering to this God or Life Force takes courage – perhaps the most courageous thing you will ever do is surrender. I believe that God wants you to know that nothing will be asked of you, lest what you are asking of yourself. Surrendering can seem like the most scary and most liberating experience of all – practically in the same breath.
So, stop trying so hard to figure it and find relief by dropping the oars. Stop trying so hard to figure out your golf game and golf swing. Instead of paddling really, really hard against the current upstream…learn to go with the flow paddling downstream where all the good stuff lies.
What to improve and get better? Set the intention and take action – the how’s will be shown along the fairway of life as soon as you make the commitment. Most are afraid to set an intention and therefore keep getting more of the same. For a more detailed description of this power that lies within pick up a copy of my new book, The Fairway of Life: Simple Secrets To Playing Better Golf By Going With The Flow ~. I eagerly look forward to your feedback.
Life and Golf are supposed to be fun – right now!
Embrace the highs and lows along the fairway of life, give appreciation and gratitude along your stroll, and be happy right now – no matter what? Why, because life is unfolding perfectly just the way it is. Sometimes I like to think perfectly imperfect just the way it is. Nevertheless, when you go back and connect the dots to your life and golf, you too will understand why it is you went through the challenges you did, and how wonderful that really was for the agenda and growth of your soul.
In other words, can I take the punch in the gut (a ball hit out of bounds, in the weeds, picker bushes, tall rough, thick trees, 3 putts, dubbed chips, bad break, choked down the stretch, and on and on) and still feel good? If you can’t then that’s the problem – and what you resist, persists. Once this concept begins to sink deeply into the depths of your soul, your life and golf will never be the same ever again. Everything changes with this new perspective. And guess what…shhh…there will be fewer times where you actually do take the punch in the gut, which means you will get more of what you really do want more often then every before.
Likewise when things are going along extremely well and you begin to feel that extra stress and pressure to keep on performing outside your comfort zone, can you still feel good and embrace the present moment? By the way – I work directly with individuals about lowering their comfort zone - more about all of that later.
Here’s the key to getting what you want. First you have to know what you want. And the only way to know what you really want is to know yourself. And the only way to know yourself is to be yourself. And the only way to be yourself is to listen to your heart and feelings – the language of your soul. Isn’t that something, be who you really are – how simple, how profound. What I do is coach, guide, and support others in removing the blocks, obstacles, or resistances that lie in the way to The Zone – the going with the flow. If you can tell me what you want, I can show you how to get it.
Back to being happy right now. My mentor, Neale Donald Walsch recently stated, “On this day of your life, dear friend, I believe God wants you to know…that you can be happy right here, not tomorrow, not in ten minutes, but now. You can be happy right now. Byron Katie said that, and she is right. Happiness is allowing yourself to be okay with what is, rather than wishing for, and bemoaning, what is not. Obviously, what is is what is supposed to be, or it would not be. The rest is just you, arguing with life. Somewhere along the way you will have to learn to just Trust Life. (Read that, “Trust God.”) Why not start today?”
Trust life and let life know that it can trust you.
Once you learn to just trust life that it is unfolding perfectly imperfect just the way it is, you can then move from what-is to what-is becoming or what you prefer. The moment you embrace the opposite of who you really are is the moment you evolve in quantum leaps to what we do prefer. Because if we keep giving our attention to what-is then we keep regurgitating the same story over and over again. It’s why Tiger is constantly thinking about becoming even better. I invite you to do the same.
Embrace what-is, be happy now, and eagerly anticipate what-is becoming, what you prefer to be next. Point yourself, your kayak downstream into the direction of your dreams. Got it?
The first two questions must be answered in this order, followed by the third:
1) Who am I?
2) Where am I going? And finally…
3) Who’s coming with me?
