The real test in golf and in life is not in keeping out of the rough, but in getting out after you are in.

Deeply felt purpose

by Ralph Marston

You can always come up with a reason for giving up. So you must ever be prepared with an even more compelling reason to move forward.

Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is the abundance of purpose.

Knowing why will not only enable you to figure out how. Knowing why will push you to make it happen.

Look into what you care about more than anything else. That is where you will find the fortitude to act decisively and persistently.

Creativity, innovation, persistence, patience, and maximum effectiveness do not occur in a vacuum. They occur where there is deeply felt purpose.

What really, truly matters to you? That’s what drives you to do great things.
