As today is Veteran's Day, we remember all of those who have served our country of the United States of America in battle. I will be forever thankful for those who have served, currently serve, and will serve. With today in mind being the theme of remembrance, it makes me think about us as…

Time.
As we all know, time seems to move faster and faster each day. Every time I look at a picture, hear a song, see a friend, I'm reminded of how far back some of those memories are. They all feel like they were just yesterday. I've talked previously about how I want to…
New Goals.
Sitting in the past is useful at times. Reflection is okay, but living in the past can be dangerous. I specifically take time out of my day to reflect, but once it's done, I work hard to move forward. I'm not perfect, and sometimes I do look back, but I am always working to move…
Time tells.
I find myself stressing over the unit of time - well, all the time. Asking myself questions like: "What is going to happen next?" "What just happened?" "Do I have time for this?" "Where has the time gone?" "What will time tell me now?" At the end of the day, I just stick my…
Never regret.
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…
Decisions.
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. …
Learning from our pain.
When I reflect on hard times and heavy pain that I've dealt with before, I recognize the extensive learning I have received from each situation. I still hurt for myself that I had to go through those things, but I am thankful for them now. Thankful? For pain? Might sound crazy, but I truly am.…
Outlooks.
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…
Mind the presence.
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…
Sometimes, you just have to let go.
Over the past few days, I've been thinking about a lot. All of these thoughts are on purpose, as I am sort of on a mission to find out things about myself. I want to know what's bothering me. Why can't I shake these things? I want to know why my emotions are so up…
