Concentration

“The secret of concentration is the secret of self-discovery. You reach inside yourself to discover your personal resources, and what it takes to match them to the challenge.”
-Arnold Palmer

My friend Joe Buttita is a golf pro, and I thought of him when I saw this quote. I remember one time he was coaching my son I said: “He just needs to concentrate,” and Joe said: “No, he just needs to relax and let it happen, you can’t force it.” Wise man! All of the teachings, the lessons, the practice – it becomes a part of us. There is a time to concentrate and learn, and there is a time to relax and let it happen. We know what to do. And when we quiet our minds we can do it!
