Ego Misses Putts
A few months ago, something small surprised me on a golf course at the 1-Tom conference.
I’m a once-a-year, below-average golfer.
Yet on multiple occasions, I found myself standing over stroke-saving putts, with teammates needing me to sink them.
And I did.
Not because I suddenly got better, but because I stopped thinking about myself. I visualized what they wanted, without sense of self. It felt light. Freeing. And it happened.
I wasn’t trying to perform.
I wasn’t protecting my ego.
I was serving up the outcome that best served the group-
and the rest happened naturally.
That round taught me something I didn’t expect:
The stronger the why outside yourself, the quieter the noise inside your head, and body.
When the inner self stops interfering with the outer self, it allows execution to improve.
Pressure isn’t the enemy.
Ego is.
