Feeling Alive!
“It is from that place of intense aliveness, spacious presence, that you can appreciate the aliveness in all things. It is more than just the sense perception of the chair or the perception of the table or the glass of water. Within the sense perceptions you can sense that there is more than what you are perceiving on the surface; that everything has a presence, an alive presence to it. When you touch that within you, then you don’t have to wait for something to happen in your life to feel more alive.” (Eckhart Tolle).
Teaching/coaching golfers makes me feel truly ALIVE!! During coaching sessions, it is like time is standing still. I am truly in a state of presence. Lessons are not planned in advance, although I have an idea of how I will approach a lesson when I know the student and his/her tendencies … However, most lessons or coaching sessions are ‘allowed to evolve.’
There is an innate sense of trust that I will know the right drill, exercise, adjustment, words & mode of communicating my message to the student at the right time in order to improve his/her golf shots. I am so fortunate I get to do this daily … it is really a gift to me that for my ‘work,’ I have the opportunity to do something that is ‘in line’ with who I am and how I want to ‘be’ – creative & present to others and to myself…
It is through teaching that I access this gift!
Have a wonderful week!

Our “GIFT” as you call it…was not “Given” to us…we learned and earned it through Thousands of hours of our own hard work…Practicing…hitting lots of BAD shots along the way…Many good ones as well! I’ve been teaching for 28 years now!…Each student along the way has been an opportunity to “Learn” and improve my own teaching skills. Without my students…I can NOT improve myself as a teacher!…So I must say “Thank You” to all the Thousands of people I have been lucky to teach…for giving me my “GIFT”!
