I recently watched the movie, The Legend of Bagger Vance and there was a particular speech that Will Smith (Bagger Vance, golf caddy to Matt Damon) delivered that just took my breath away. It was so relevant to what happens to us as we grow up and go after our dreams that I wanted to share his beautiful and profound words with you.
Inside each and every one of us is one true swing. Something that's ours and ours alone. Something that can't be taught to you or learned. Something that's got to be remembered. Over time the world can rob us of that swing. It gets buried inside of us with all our wouldas, couldas, and shouldas.
Some folks even forget what that swing was like.
Who have you allowed to rob you of your authentic swing - family members, friends, co-workers, boss or is it simply, yourself?
Are you willing to remember your swing and take some baby steps toward bringing it to life again?
Will Smith describing the field to Matt Damon:
One shot that's in perfect harmony with the field. One shot that's his authentic shot. That shot is going to choose him. There's a perfect shot out there trying to find each and every one of us. All we have to do is get ourselves out of it's way - let it choose us.
Why not get out of your own way - even if just for today, and see the field that's holding your perfect shot then allow it in with as much ease and grace as you can.
