Not just the pros, but also our everyday experiences in sports. Something similar to what you write about giving your all and letting go of the outcome can be captured in the saying "Give that what you wish to receive". Acting from abundance, not scarcity. Yes it may be a daily struggle, but one that is very worthwhile!Manfredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03091093855127405641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136165467344815560.post-41679007591386755772011-02-04T16:18:32.083-08:002011-02-04T16:18:32.083-08:00Thanks for the perspective David.

Am reading Emmett Fox's The Sermon on the Mount right now. Here's an apt quote:<br />"The truth is that the whole of our life's experience is but the outer expression of inner thought....our lives are just the result of the kind of thoughts we have chosen to hold." <br />I'll add to your list:<br />Set small, incremental goals for yourself every day. It might take awhile to achieve your ultimate objective, and it is important to be able to celebrate accomplishments along the way.<br /><br />and<br /><br />Prayers and meditation.<br /><br />I'll say some for you, my friend. All the best, SusanAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16643314165350629142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136165467344815560.post-72962000232046901732010-11-09T14:55:37.141-08:002010-11-09T14:55:37.141-08:00Good to hear from you, Milind.

I was very fortunate as a young athlete, particularly with a couple of coaches in high school and college, to be introduced to it.David DeRuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11015013594293758753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136165467344815560.post-56110205282549529332010-11-09T12:36:24.410-08:002010-11-09T12:36:24.410-08:00Dave, Nice post.
