I am blogging everyday (or nearly everyday) on The Daily Stoic.

Always be prepared for the worst. Or really have a great state of mind that allows for disaster to turn into opportunity. I recently missed a two foot putt for some money in a recent golf game. I took it well because I knew it was a learning opportunity. I analyzed how I could have done it better. I had multiple options for doing it better. It’s also the first time I was truly put in a pressure situation on a golf course. I felt like I handled it well. I didn’t get upset. I also took my time with the shut felt calm and just missed. I did what I wanted to and I still missed the putt. It happens and it’s a learning opportunity.
