    About this ebook

    One of the most basic principles in our lives that becomes important to understand is that we cannot have anything until we first imagine it in the mind. This is as true with a golf shot as it is with anything else.

    It is ultimately how we internally activate an experience through thought and imagination that either brings it closer to us or pushes it further away. Simply stated, we can’t want something and doubt we’ll get it and hope to attract it into our lives. Likewise, we can’t want something and believe in it and not have it appear.

    Since 1999, Spirit of Golf has grown into a leader in the relatively new field of “Conscious Athletics,” offering an innovative approach in golf instruction and peak athletic performance through the power of the mind. This book, the second from Spirit of Golf, is a continued compilation of our favorite Thoughts of the Day (read globally by thousands each day), offering inspiration and insight into the games of athletics and life, each of which ultimately becomes one in the same.

      About the Author

      Introduction

      They say an animal that is about to die in the jaws of a predator feels no fear or pain in its final moments of life. How they’ve come to know this I’m still not sure. Maybe the beast, sensing that physical death is imminent and resistance is futile, decides on some primal level to totally surrender and let go.

      Within this final act of surrender, there is no struggle; with no struggle, there is nothing left to fear. And once the fear is completely gone, there remains only calmness and bliss – a deep sense of inner peace and a knowing that comes from acceptance, surrender, release and letting go.

      It was shortly before two o’clock after midnight in the springtime of 2006 that I awoke once again to a paralyzing terror that was inescapably raw and surreal. Here I was, at 48 years old in the prime of my life, in the jaws of an illness that was asking my body to surrender and die.

      The doctor would like to see you again, was all the nurse would say as I begrudgingly headed back to his office, having been there no more than a few hours earlier for my appointment and a subsequent X-ray. Fortunately, hypochondria is not one of my things, but because of the urgency of the call and because my chest had been severely congested for more than a month, I felt that something a little more significant might be up.

      It was when I was immediately whisked from the waiting area back to the same examination room that life, in its often fragile and delicate nature, was about to change.

      There is no fu&$#*! way, was all I could mutter, as I still remember clearly how my eyes, flooding with tears, zeroed in on the handwritten words on a flimsy Xeroxed report. Lung cancer.

      I sat stunned in silence for what seemed like an eternity as my mind gave way to thoughts that were coming at me from a billion, trillion crazy, different directions. Why me, why now, why a non-smoker who was in otherwise perfect health? What had I done wrong, or perhaps better yet, what hadn’t I done right?

      And what about my beautiful daughter, who remains the absolute joy and wonder of my life? There was no way I could leave her now. And what was I even going to tell her and everyone else?

      My 20 years of meditation training suddenly had little calming effect as my thoughts and emotions raced wildly with sheer panic and my body clenched in a paralyzing and primordial fear. Here I was, the beast in the jaws of the lion, with a future that seemed as uncertain as the very breaths I labored to take.

      As I
