Norman s demeanor struck a chord with fans around the world. He heard from presidents, executives, children, and his fellow golfers, all offering words of encouragement and praise for his grace under pressure. One couple who welcomed a new child into the world on the day of the championship named their son in his honor. A moment of apparent failure would ultimately touch many lives in positive ways. Love of self understands who and what we are.
Love of self accepts frustrations without being demolished.
It is a call to service, not an excuse for complacency. It admits our own needs but is responsive to those of others. It takes life seriously, but can laugh at its own foibles.
