Golf: Bringing Out My Massive Failure (Blurb)

 

 

There are things that I am most certainly good at... and as well.. there are things that I am most certainly NOT good at.

You can check out this video and see me fail miserably (I am last):

 

Some of the guys started early by practicing hitting balls. I was quite busy with getting ready for some other.. important things and did not have time to practice while they did. Honestly, I could have... I just didn't.

While they took their shots and before I took my shots I had an interesting thought about my performance. How amazing it would be; after all those guys had taken time to practice and get their shot just right, I just walked up and hit the ball in such a perfect way looking quite suave in my skills winning the pot of gold at the end of that rainbow arced shot. Ah.. memories of wishes that did not occur.. hmm.. yum.

As you would have seen above in the video, I hit those balls terribly, you might actually be able to claim that I DID NOT hit them. I really could have used a few practice hits.

I like looking good... looking foolish is not enjoyed by me, unless of course I do it on purpose - which I most certainly do at many occasions. I find it interesting how silly I truly am and how die hard serious I can be in my defensive mechanism as I 'walk' through life. I have always looked at it as a professional me and a casual me, but I think they may need to better mend into one. I find that there are moments that I can be silly that may need more seriousness and as well times of calm that I take too seriously. 

It is hard to tell how one should act in many situations. It is a good thing that I can just trust in God and just be who I am, even if it may be slightly different in different situations.  The problem I see in this is that when we get good at those actions in situations, we actually become better and better at hiding our true selves from one another.  We should move to break this. I would rather not know the you which has been fabricated for me, but rather the you that is truly you.

This should not be too hard, but the problem of temptation and sin take hold. In the moments of our weakness we are much like me golfing above.  We hide our true need of help and the only possible outcome is a massive failure.

Only honesty in all things, good and bad can give us the wonderful ability to be who we are, growing better each and every day!

Do you have someone to share your hardships, success, and failures with in order to culture growth within?
