"Risks ain't bad, it's the bumps"
-Anonymous
I heard this above quote that was said by an anonymous source a long time ago. As true as this may be, there is something more to it. Fun fact: years and years ago, golf balls in it's origins were actually smooth round balls. They didn't look like the above picture. They were heavier than a ping pong ball for sure, but as smooth as one. And then one day something happened.
Golf players would find as they kept hitting these smooth golf balls, they would get these bumps and bruises, little dinks and kinks made on the ball. What they found was that the more bumps and the more banged up it got, the further and truer would the ball soar in the air as they got hit. Isn't that something? Hence forth, the golf balls were made with these little bumps and dents on it like the picture above.
It's sometimes very difficult to go through the bumps in life. It's sometimes hard to accept that they are necessary or that we need to have any bumps at all as we go through life. But the truth is, the more bumps we get, the further we soar through our lives as well. And sometimes we have to takes risks in order to get to where we need to be, and sometimes we in the process build our confidence by overcoming the challenges, but even moreso by NOT overcoming them but learning a great deal.
Remember, experience is what we get when we don't get what we want. Some people may question our choices, but that is for no one to judge or dictate, nor to even understand. Not everyone sees the big picture you see nor would believe in it even if they saw it. You can't always be logical in your way of thinking because in risk taking comes a great deal of blind faith and romanticism that brings about an energy logistics will oversee.
It is not our abilities that define who we are, but it is our choices that give us that definition. What other may find foolish, you can prove to be the greatest unforeseen thing you have ever done. Sometimes the process gives you bumps along the way and some can leave a mark, scars that aren't even able to be seen. But remember how the golf ball that soars truer and farther. Think of what I just said. TRUER and FARTHER. In order to move forward in life, truth will always set us free. Allow the bumps to bring that truth into your life so you can move forward in leaps and bounds. Don't hold back. Just be. (BOWS)
