Infinite Worth

Do you think consistently? You have to if you have any expectations of becoming good at anything you try to do. I find that my thinking plays a great part in how my day goes on and off the golf course by the thoughts I choose to have.

Every creation of God’s is of infinite worth. This one thought helps me believe in myself. Whenever I tee it up, I will often remind myself of who I am and what I am as a person. It helps me connect with a higher state of awareness, something that is of infinite magnitude for clarity when you’re searching to play good golf, or anything of more importance in life.

To recognize this is priceless. We all have goals that we wish to obtain in life, whether we write them down or not. The ultimate goal is fulfillment. Each one of us wishes for some kind of fulfillment. To recognize that you are of infinite worth is the highest fulfillment and that is how your awareness becomes more in tune.

Deeply rooted inside of us all, we want to present our talent to the world. It all seems to stem from our belief system in good and bad. This goes back to a topic described as ME, the big troublemaker.

The me, which many people refer to as ego, always seems to have problems with two simple matters — desires and fears.

The desires are things that could be added to our life. In golf they may be something like hitting the fairway or green with your tee shot, making some birdies or breaking 80 for the first time.

The fears are things like making an embarrassing display of yourself, like missing a short putt, or shooting in the 90s when you wanted to break 80. One adds to your life and one subtracts. This is how the me and the brain make themselves feel worthy.

Perhaps you can now connect the dots and see how starting out your day on the golf course of life with a statement like, “Every Creation of God’s is of Infinite Worth.”

To shift your awareness from the desired and the feared is the beginning.

Once you get past that stuff you can find yourself in the present moment. There is nothing lacking in the present moment. It has everything we need.

  • Choose the shot that best fits your capabilities The adage in golf has always been not how, but how many. There is no set rule as to how you get the ball close to the hole when just off the green, but the decision you make could mean all the difference in your score.

  • SHOT-MAKING: Art or science? Getting the ball to go where you want is equal parts science and art. A professional golfer has a mastery of mind, body and club that is likened to an artist’s exquisite control of a paintbrush on a canvas, or a musician’s deft fingertips on an instrument.
