2 thoughts on “Mental Mondays: Control Your Anger”
I think what happened with Rory yesterday could be traced back one further step. As Yoda said: “Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”
Rory started with the fear – maybe he started with the nerves, but by the 10th hole it was fear.
I’ve decided that I’m not good enough to get mad at my bad shots. A little disappointment maybe, but not all out mad. The next shot is just a little more of a challenge and I decided it’ll be a lot easier when I put another “Mental Monday” tip into play this year—the Rule of Five.
Now the 50 handicappers in front of me playing from the back tees? That’s another story. I might get just a wee bit… perturbed…

As for me, anger often leads to profanity.
