31 Aug: LIFE IS LIKE A GAME OF GOLF

I love the game of golf. Ever since I started playing about two years ago, I have slowly got hooked on it. Have you ever watched golf on TV? It always looks so easy. The professional golfers with their years of training, hard work and practice, effortlessly strike the ball long distances, accurately chip and putt the ball into the hole. Life can be a bit the same. We watch some people living their lives and it looks effortless and easy, and we can often wonder why our lives are not turning out as successful and as enjoyable. We often perceive other people's lives to be awesome. I say ‘perceive’, as it is often only a perception; the reality could be quite different. In reality they may look like professional golfers who look sharp and their outfits are often well coordinated, but in reality they may be struggling to get to form—or may have a myriad of personal issues niggling away in their minds as they play. They may not be happy but giving the outward appearance as if they are happy.
