As hard as it may be to look back on mistakes you may have made in your past, you should never look back with regret. Each time I look back with a regretful vision, I find that I lose the thankfulness I have for the road I've traveled. The road I've traveled is anything but…
You lay it out on the table and look at it from all angles. You look at the choices you can make. You weigh the pros - You weigh the cons. Both might be very heavy. Both might be very hard. But, at the end of the day, you have to make a decision. …
I have a word document that I consistently update titled "Life". It is a compilation of things in life that I love, that I don't love, that I have learned about myself, what I want going forward, what I thought about the past, bucket lists, reminders, and much more. It's a bunch of lists about…
Throughout my golf career, I learned a valuable lesson each time I played: I play better, physically and mentally, when I am focused on the present. Don't focus on the bad shot I hit 2 holes ago, and don't focus on the difficult hole that is coming up. Focus on the task at hand. One…
This summer taught me something important that I need to focus on and remember: I need to chill more often. And this goes further than escaping the Missouri humidity - I find myself wrapped in anxiety and nerves that don't need to be there. Some anxiety and nervousness is natural - it will happen whenever…
Golf season is right around the corner, and for most of the summer, my swing has felt weird. Not bad, just weird. After hearing from a few people that have watched my swing and working on some things, my hands seem to be moving quicker than my body. I'm not in sync! When I was…
I've been in a much better mindset as of late. Despite mistakes being made (as normal, it's life), I haven't been so hard on myself. I've realized, I've learned, and I've been patient. Grinding, as some might say. Also, I've been writing (shocker). I have been writing down little things each day, reminders of…
Who I am now is nowhere near where I was yesterday, last year, or 10 years ago. I've learned. I've failed. I've succeeded. I've experienced. I've done a lot in my lifetime, and I know the learning never stops. When I think about what is ahead for me, I continuously think about how hard something…
If this were a year ago, I would be scared. I would be questioning myself and wondering if this is exactly what I wanted out of life. Where do I want to go from here? The future used to be a major question for me - but I know where I am headed. I…
Life is a long road full of twists and turns. This road also contains long stretches of straight, smooth terrain. This road also contains detours, speed bumps, and a few random objects that make you swerve out of control at times. But in the end, the goal of life is to stay moving forward on…
