Focus on Results.

Every golf stroke creates a result.

Sometimes the ball goes in the hole;

Sometimes it goes out of bounds. 

Golfers tend to focus …

(1) On the result they would have preferred,

Which is merely wishful thinking, or

(2) On beating themselves up for being so "stupid",

Which is painful. 

Learn from every swing.

Observe the results you actually get. 

Life never lies!

- Dr. Philip E. Humbert

A loving relationship is one in which
the loved one is free to be himself …

Such a relationship is based upon freedom
and can never grow in a jealous heart.

Broke both legs and told my wife, it’s not all bad. 

I get to take the rest of the season off.
