The next best shot
There is something magical about the golf course. The rolling greens, golfers perfecting their shots, fresh air and freedom.
I do not play golf. I just love watching others drive, tee-off and do what gives them so much satisfaction. Anyway, I came here today to reflect on the months past. Life didn’t go according to plan. I tried something new and failed dismally, I prayed but I did not get the answers, I felt knots of fear and fell silent because I could not make anyone understand. But today, today I am okay. Just one breath at a time. At times like these, it is so important to be consistent in our faith, in our prayer and in the belief that God’s plan for us is definite.
I choose to forgive those who mislead me. I don’t want to live with bitterness because that will destroy my core. I don’t want to chase the material things in life because it is exhausting. I am where I am because it is where I need to be. I no longer want to compare myself to anyone or anything because that will simply diminish my life, and my life is so precious.
These subtle changes are like Winter ending (this was a harsh season here in South Africa. I felt it in the tips of my fingers and toes), making way for the birth of Spring. I am looking forward to renewal, a different mindset and a whole new ME
