When Will This (BLEEP) Disappear?!

I got a call from a student the other day, asking when his negative (bleep) will go away. He was obviously hoping I'd give him an exact date, but all I could tell him was, "IT WON'T!"

The way he'd been approaching his mental game to date was working hard on his physical skills. His thinking: Strong physical = strong mental. Sure, he'll add a bit of confidence by improving his physical game, but it will be short-lived, with nothing to glue his long term game together.

He's a college golfer, but we don't have to be athletes to live the following advice: Changing anything means creating new habits... period! If we wait for the change to magically appear, we'll be waiting forever. We all know this fact, intellectually, yet most of us still tend to sit and hope for the new to appear.

If we want to make it happen... then go make it happen! Create a specific plan, take massive action, and create results. Even if the outcome isn't exactly what we want, at least we got off our butts and did something about it.

Undesired results are better than no results, and pull us nearer to our goals! The most successful people understand that failing draws them closer to the solution. This "failure" is only short term, and is necessary to fully understand what's needed for long term success.

Make it happen, even if IT doesn't turn out exactly how you planned. Eventually, it will.
