Inspiration

“When things go wrong, as they sometimes will; When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill; When the funds are low and the debts are high; And you want to smile but you have to sigh. When all is pressing you down a bit- Rest if you must, but don’t you quit; Success is failure turned inside out; The silver tint on the clouds of doubt; And you can never tell how close you are; It may be near when it seems far. So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit – It’s when things go wrong that you must not quit.”

– John Greenleaf Whittier

“Golf is a compromise between what your ego wants you to do, what experience tells you to do, and what your nerves let you do.”

– Bruce Crampton

“Too many people think the grass is greener somewhere else, but the grass is green where you water it. Remember that.”

“If it is a bad shot, I get frustrated with myself for a few seconds, a few steps.. and then forget about it, go find the golf ball and go into the next one with a positive attitude./ take your time, don’t rush and just visualize a great shot on the next one and just commit to it. That’s all you can do. You can’t compound the negativity. You’ve got to try and be positive.”

– Lexi Thompson

“A negative attitude is like a flat tire, you aren’t going to get very far until you change it.”

“You fall, you rise, you make mistakes, you live and learn. You’re human, not perfect. You’ve been hurt but, you’re alive – to breath to think, to enjoy, and chase the things you love. Sometimes there is sadness in our journey but, there is also lots of joy. We must keep putting one foot in front of the other even when we hurt. For we will never know what is waiting for us around the bend.”

“Self-control is strength. Calmness is mastery. You have to get to a point where your mood doesn’t shift based on the insignificant actions of someone else. Don’t allow other to control the directions of your life. Don’t allow your emotions to overpower your intelligence.”

– Morgan Freeman

“We cannot become what we want by remaining what we are.”

– Max Depree

“You can change another person’s life just by the belief that you have in them and by caring enough to take a moment to verbalize is to them.”

“We talk about how to have success, how to prepare properly and what it takes to win but something I wish I would have learned sooner in life was hot to process failure. How to handle it when it happens. How to use it as a learning moment. For quicker long term success, FAIL UP!”

– Baseball Dudes (twitter)

“We’re often so hard on ourselves. But remember, everybody has a chapter they don’t read out loud. Take a moment. Sit back. Marvel at your life; at the mistakes that gave you wisdom, at the suffering that gave you strength. Despite everything, youstill move forward, be proud of this. Continue to endure. Continue to persevere. And remember, no matter how dark it gets, the sun will rise again.”

“A lie doesn’t become truth, wrong doesn’t become right and evil doesn’t become goo, just because it’s accepted by a majority.”
