The Importance Of A Good Golf Club Set
Used golf clubs are a good option for any golfers on a budget and golfers who don't get to play much. But they are especially good for new golfers. Why spend a ton of money .....

If you were to take all the choices you have made to this point
in life and magically add them all together, you would have -
you. Each of us is the equivalent of the choices weve made to

Have you ever taken an action and wondered why? Each day we are
faced with literally thousands of choices. Some occupy our
thoughts on a conscious level, some do not. I thought about the
color of the tie I would wear today, but I gave little thought
to the turn I made out of my driveway, I just took it. Each of
these were choices. Have you ever wondered why you make the
choices you make?
After years of teaching golf, I discovered that many things that
people do are done passively, without thought or planning. Tiger
Woods does not think about how he grips the club in a
tournament, he does it by feel. Yet when he practices, he may
take great care in adjusting his grip to the optimum position
each and every time he grips the club. When driving a car in
excess of two-hundred miles per hour, Dale Earnhardt Jr. doesnt
think about how he will move the wheel, he does it naturally.
These are examples of learned responses, things that are done
almost by second nature by the performer and they are very
similar to the learned responses we all have in our lives. Each
of us has things we do almost subconsciously, you may visit a
drive through coffee virtually without thinking about it.
Marketers know this and they prey on our habits, our learned
responses. McDonalds and other fast food restaurants have spent
billions of dollars to train us to effortlessly and
thoughtlessly spend our money on a number four with a large diet
coke.
Have you ever observed the people at work and how they will
instinctively reply to the question how are you today? Some

How can someone be tired first thing in the morning? Ok, perhaps
a rough night every once in a while, but these folks are tired
every day. To quote Earl Nightingale, they are just reciting
their lines. Learned responses are a part of our every day
life. How are you today? The response is the same each and
every day; fine! Rarely to we examine the conditioned, learned
responses we give and where they come from. More important is
the effect they have on our lives - the learned responses we
have dramatically effect our lives by providing us with our
perceived reality.
What if we could alter the perception of our reality? What if we
had, literally and perceptively, no limits? What could we
accomplish? What could we do? How happy could we possibly be?
In order to destroy our self imposed limits, we must examine
their origin and the validity of them. Each of our learned
responses, our locked assumptions can be traced to one of Your
Ten Relationships in Life.
The first relationship is with your family. This is the first
thing you encounter in life. You were issued a mother and
father, perhaps siblings and a host of in-laws and relatives.
These people are in your life whether you like it or not and
your reaction to them and with them directly effects your
ability to have further relationships.
Next you have the relationship with your body. Once again,
issued without choice. This is the first opportunity however to
control.
Third: your environment. This is a vast relationship with
multiple opportunities to control. Not only the immediate
environment around you, but also the local, national and global
environment.
Forth: Your relationship with people. Now comes the tricky part,
we believe we can control for a short time, now some joker who
has ideas of their own shows up.
Fifth: your spouse. Ok, significant other, long time partner,
you name it. This is a person that you will allow to change your
locked assumptions and perceptions. Finally, we get a choice.
Sixth: our education. Here we have a relationship of long term
that we will reflect on much like our family. We are in total
control of this relationship.
Next comes work. Surveys abound and the more they are conducted,
the more we find people hating their jobs. Yet off we go, every
day. Is this the tail wagging the dog?
Eighth: Money. No one thing in human existence is more
misunderstood and misrepresented than money. If work isnt the
tail wagging the dog, money is.
Ninth: the relationship you have with your past. Most people
cant let go of the past and most of the time it is so
exaggerated in our perception. Lets face it, nothing is ever as
good or as bad as we remember it.
And most importantly, your relationship with your creator. Each
of us, believers or not cannot deny that we have been created
and our relationship with the creator is the most important
relationship in our lives. For those who believe, this truth is
self evident. For those who are non believers, your ability to
justify and quantify your existence and the creation of that
existence will in large part determine your ability to interact
with the rest of creation.
These ten relationships will shape the way you will react in
every event of your life. Most of the time you will give little
thought to how they effect your decisions. You will make
decisions about your life based upon your perception of your
relationships in each of these 10 areas.
Our ability to determine our perception of our relationships
will in large part determine our ability to achieve. Our
limitless selves are there for the taking if we only adjust how
we perceive our relationships in these 10 vital areas.
We must recognize from the list above and our reactions to these
ten areas that life is the search for control.
