How many of you actually sat down on January 1st and made a list of New Year’s resolutions, or things that you really wanted to accomplish this coming year? Probably a large percentage of you… if not this year, you have at some point attempted to do so in your past.
What gave you the desire to come up with your New Year’s resolutions? What gave you the motivation to want to sit down and write out on paper the things you wanted to change about yourself, or the things you wanted to accomplish in the coming year?
I’m going to go out on the limb and say that it’s just plain old human nature to want to improve… want to get better than we are right now. We see others succeed and in turn want to do the same. We dream of winning that big golf event down at the club, or someday being the longest hitter in our Saturday morning golf leagues. Or maybe for those golf professionals our there, you dream of someday winning on the LPGA or PGA Tour, or the World Long Drive Championship. Whatever your dream may be, please go ahead and answer question number two for me. How many of you have looked at those New Year’s resolution today? Hmmm… how about this week? Ok then, how about this month? If you answered “I have” to two out of the three questions above, I’m sure you are better today than you were on January 1st. If not, I wouldn’t be surprised if you didn’t even remember what those resolutions were in the first place.
I’d like to introduce you to the ULTIMATE WEAPON FOR SUCCESS in LIFE and ON THE COURSE.
This great tool has been used by some of golf’s best: Nicklaus, Hogan, and Palmer to name a few. Actually, this secret weapon is used by every single successful person you have ever read about or even heard of. This weapon is called goal setting. Goal setting is used to conquer armies, win major championships, or even just to simply look great at the beach. The ability to set goals is something every one of us already possess, but if practiced and developed will help all of your dreams come true.
