When I first started golfing, I was horrible. I had a 300-yard drive, unfortunately, 210 yards of that 300-yard drive was a hard 90-degree right slice deep into the woods. I took a few lessons and guess what? I STILL had a severe slice…but now I knew why I had a severe slice. I also knew what steps I needed to take to fix it.
I find myself at the stage of my MKE journey where I am seeing where my previous Blueprint has served me poorly and provided results that are less than what I desire. Much like my golf lessons, I now have tools to re-draw my Blueprint and enjoy the results that lie harmoniously in line with my Definite Major Purpose. Do I still “slice the ball off the tee box”? Oh, yeah. I sure do!
Steady and persistent application and study of the techniques provide a new opportunity to strike the ball yet again. Each time it goes a little straighter and further down the fairway.
I am blessed.
Ron, thanks for your perceptive comparison of golf to the game of life. I agree…you’re blessed and we all are to have found MKE. We’re shown how to uncover our WHY, helped to identify the skills to make it real, and get nudged into the habit of habits that perfect the skills and practice to build a much better blueprint that we had imagined could exist.
as Og writes–closer to success. Thanks for sharing I’m not alone in mishitting (although not a golfer). But, as you write, I’m learning what is wrong and getting tools and skills to fix.
