There are plenty of places in the world. There are plenty of people in the world. But sometimes, you feel like nowhere is the "right place" for you. Likewise, sometimes you can feel like no one around you makes up the "people" that you want in your life. I've been there before! Where nothing…
The "golden rule" is a pretty well-known concept - treat others how you would want to be treated. There are a lot of things in life that I value and have come to understand about people. One of the most important things, to me, is the ability to keep it real with people. Honesty…
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…
That picture up there? The boy with the big smile? That's me! I just came across this picture and it definitely made me smile. I'm thankful for every time I feel that good in a day. But, sometimes, I forget to be thankful - and that's the message today. I need to remind myself to…

Confidence is hard to obtain on a daily basis, let alone to hold on to. I recognize how important it is to have confidence flowing through my veins to be the best that I can be. As Bobby Jones once said, the 5.5 inches between your ears has to be in the right place!…
The opportunity to be a writer is one that I take advantage of every single day. When I first started writing consistently, whether it was journaling, blogging, or other sources, I did it to just take my mind off of things going on around me. Today, I am using writing to turn my mind…
Life is a constant search for what is next. My vision is always fixed on wanting to be "happy". But many times I feel like I fall short of what I want to feel. I realize that the better word to describe what I'm searching for is "peace". Let me explain. There are…
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.
