Unfortunately these thoughts, as common as they are, tend to be self-fulfilling prophecies. Why? Each negative thought acts like a suggestion to your unconscious mind, to be yielded up at a later time for your conscious mind to put into action! Oops!! Like it or not…

I love it! When a guy who’s never had a lesson rocks up to the Masters and takes away one of the most coveted prizes in golf, there’s something for us all to learn. Gerry “Bubba” Watson was the one who didn’t read the book on how to play the game – he’s his own man!
