These values are inherent in our spiritual nature and are given to us by a power greater than we are. In the process of learning to perfect our sport, these qualities are either enhanced or overshadowed by the earthly goals of success, money, and power. In order to sustain the heart energy, it is necessary to be engrossed in the process of enjoying each moment to its fullest potential instead of looking ahead to the uncontrollable outcome. In the quiet, stillness of our higher mind the answer resides, waiting so patiently to be asked for the secrets to unlock the mysteries of life. It is the same in sport.
Golf is a metaphor for the self-empowerment that is learned through the adventure of life.
The power is given to us to make a choice in either direction to carry out our decision. Which one we choose doesn't matter to the giver of the power. Feeling for one second in the emotional body is much more powerful and important than ten minutes of rote memory and thinking things through about they should be. Be in the present by feeling the love you have for the game of golf. Give it life, give it freedom of expression through your physical body.
