We just got back from our Pelizzaro family vacation and, as usual, it was awesome.
If you ever get the chance to play Porto Cima at the Lake of the Ozarks here in Missouri, jump at it. You won’t be disappointed.
So, the Lake of the Ozarks has an abundance of luxury – tons of huge boats and gigantic mansions. It’s very easy to fall into the “wish I had XYZ” trap, but I always flash back to a great quote I read somewhere along the way…
Comparison is the thief of happiness.
It’s hard to not compare ourselves with what other people have – I try not to, but I still find myself doing it.
I saw Brad Pitt at Wimbledon yesterday. And said, “I wish I had 6-pack abs.” Then, I stopped myself, and asked one question:
WHY?
Is it really worth all the work and strict diet to have abs? Not for me.
It’s important for us to figure out our “WHY.”
And I’ve seen it happen to countless golfers when they finally got into shape. And continue to stay in shape. Year after year after year. When things get tough, they know their WHY. And keep pushing forward.
So, my question to you is, “What is driving you?”
Why do you want to get into shape?
Don’t BS yourself. Don’t do it because you think it’s the right thing to do. Don’t be afraid to be honest.
Wanting to look good, be in shape, and play your best golf doesn’t require a giant, spiritual contract between you and God.
Most of us are just regular people. We’re pretty simple. We’re not that deep.
If you like the ego boost from turning the pool honeys’ heads. Then use it.
If you like taking $$$ from your buddies on the course. Then use it.
If you like pulling whatever you want from the closet w/o worrying how it’s going to look. Then use it.
Keep it simple. But make it something that will continue to drive you.
For me? I don’t want to be the fat dad. I want to be the in-shape dad that my kids and wife think is awesome.
That’s what keeps me going.
And I promise once you figure it out, it will change the game for you.

PS – Once you figure out your WHY, the rest is much easier.
