![]() Either you strive to move beyond where you already are or else you continue to do what you have already done. In the end, as I see it, there are only two possibilities for a human life. Thinking thoughts and feeling emotions the same old way will never keep us content for very long, however, since every particle of our being is constantly asking us to feel better by letting go of what no longer serves us in favor of the new. The crafty (same old) mind will plead with us to do everything within our power to remain safe and in control, convincing us that danger could be lurking with the unfamiliar and new. No matter the venue or playing field, we must commit to stepping well outside the familiarity of our repeated habits of thought – our current comfy box – before anything new can begin to appear. If it doesn’t feel almost totally different or new, change is not usually taking place. It is then that thought and imagination get projected, through action, into our games and our lives. In truth, every golf shot we see gets created inside imagination first. Most of us believe our golf games are randomly happening to us because of action and hard work with very little input from our conscious and unconscious beliefs. In other words, the eyes interpret and project onto the big screen of our lives thought patterns already firing inside the brain (we see the world not the way it really is, but the way we believe it to be). The way the brain is wired, we only see outside of us what we first believe. We are taught that action leads to belief, often wondering why it takes so long for our hard work to pay off. It is a very difficult concept for most of us to understand that we are creating first by thought and then by action.
