Getting Started

Well, this is where it all begins. An attempt to change my life...through learning how to play golf. What exactly does learning to play golf have to do with changing one's entire life? Nothing, actually. Golf is just the avenue I chose. Let me explain:

Over the past 27 years, I've been able to basically coast through everything in life. I'm one of those people who is pretty good at most things, but not particularly good any anything. Sure, it's a great gift to just pick something up weather it be a golf club, a book, a computer, a fishing rod, or whatever the case may be, and be "naturally good" with it. Well, as it turns out, that gift is a nasty curse in disguise.

Ever since I learned way back in grade school that I could be just as good as the next person, while putting forth half the effort, I've been doing everything half-assed. Not a good lesson to learn at such a young age, because now, when I look around, everything in my life is just "good enough" to get by. This is my curse.

Over the next year, I intend to break that curse with the virtues of commitment and hard work. I'm setting goals for the days, weeks and months ahead, all aimed at ultimately ridding myself of what I've become. An unmotivated, lazy, procrastinating, and half-hearted individual.
