Golf for Enlightenment Quotes

“Freedom comes when you see the built-in contradiction of trying to manipulate something that is going right to begin with.... Stop trying to steer the river.”
― Deepak Chopra, Golf for Enlightenment: The Seven Lessons for the Game of Life

“Know that you have a center. Know that you belong there. Know that the path to the center takes no effort.”
― Deepak Chopra, Golf for Enlightenment: The Seven Lessons for the Game of Life

“Just as in life, frustration leads to bitterness, and anger destroys the capacity for joy. It’s through tiny losses more than big ones that we have all forgotten the innocence of leela.”
― Deepak Chopra, Golf for Enlightenment: The Seven Lessons for the Game of Life

“The self is the source of your personal reality. All perceptions come back to the self. All emotions come back to the self. All ideas come back to the self. In golf you succeed or fail according to all three. First, perception. Golf begins and ends with seeing the ball. Minuscule sensations streaming into your body affect where the ball will go, down to one blade of grass on the putting surface. When your perception is clear and concentrated, the ball seems to aim itself directly at the hole with the force of inevitability. Golf can’t be mastered without totally clear perception. Next, emotions. Tournaments are won on Sunday because when players of equal skill attack the course, their emotions decide the outcome.”
