In the Matters of You,
There is that little matter about how you feel about all this. . . Whether you feel what is right or not. Your feelings lie and they hold you back allot of times from getting where you really want to be.
I am working on my golf game and my swing, I have a been for years addicted to the game. . . At my best I have been a single digit handicap but compared to the effort into the game I should be better than where I am at.
So like anybody frustrated with a skill, I have hired many coaches over the last decade. . . but I have not listened because it didn’t “feel” right so I would leave said instructor not complete the instruction.
Then I got hurt and I couldn’t do what I did before, after 10 years I had to rebuild by swing. . . I had to get uncomfortable with something I loved to do and on many levels have been very good at. I had to try and do things so out my comfort zone that I didn’t want to to do.
So I am now hitting the ball better, making fast progress and I am swinging in an entirely different way. . . But only after deciding that I needed to make a new swing and that my feelings could not be trusted. I found something beyond where my old place of comfort was. . . and it was a breakthrough.
Your Feelings Lie, what is good for you and what you need to do for you are two different things. . . Be suspect for your feelings and trust more the result of your actions.
