Recently I came home from a disc golf weekend with 5 of my friends. We spent 3 days at a disc golf mecca in High Bridge, Wisconsin. We played over 150 holes and spent a fair amount of time looking for our discs that went astray in the woods. I will tell you that my arm was a little sore but I was able to enjoy every minute of my time out in God’s country playing a game that I like very much.

What I noticed is that distance is not as important as knowing how to putt. If you can putt in 30ft putts consistently you can greatly improve your game and impress your friends. Here are a few tips that I hope will improve your putting game.

1. Your putting grip
2. Your focus
3. The sweet spot

With your grip you need to have all 4 fingers under the disc with your thumb up on top. Make sure you have a good firm grip from top to bottom. When practicing your putting get a friend and spread out 30ft and throw as straight as you can to each other. Do this over and over to get comfortable with throwing to that person so when the person catches your disc, he or she is not moving the body left or right.

Now that you have that done the next thing is to keep your focus on the basket and not on things that are happening around you. Turn 45 degrees from the target and judge the distance. Once you have the distractions out of your mind focus now on the sweet spot until you don’t see anything else. I try to focus on the right chain and then pick a chain link to hit. That particular chain link is your sweet spot. Before you throw, imagine your throw going into the basket. Hit that sweet spot and put it in to the chains. CaChing!

Those are just a few tips to improve your disc golf game so grip it and let it rip.

The Product is You!

When I say the product is you that is that you are the one selling yourself. It is important to be able to sell yourself as a person to others.
Despite the necessity of being able to sell yourself to others, for many people like myself it does not come naturally. Introversion, shyness, and lack of self-worth are just a few of the obstacles that can potentially get in the way. To overcome such obstacles, I suggest focusing on the following:

Be Sold on Yourself

This is the first, and perhaps most important, aspect to successfully selling yourself to others. Unless it comes naturally, this is probably also the hardest. Being sold on yourself comes down to this: you must be aware of your own self-worth. This means you believe in yourself, have faith in yourself, and have confidence in yourself.
Being sold on yourself is not something that usually happens overnight. For many years, I did not like myself. I can, however, personally attest that it is possible to change your life and gain a sense of self-worth when there was once none. If you struggle with your sense of self-worth, here are just 4 ideas that may help:

1. Live in such a way that you would want to be friends with yourself
2. Find some time to reflect on what you like about yourself. If this seems hard, start with the smallest of attributes.
3. Don’t do anything that will give you cause to feel ashamed later.
4. Get rid of the negative things in your life. The stuff that brings you down.
   

Have a Saleable Package

This article is predominately about letting others know about the inner contents of your package. That being said, there is no getting around the fact that people judge others based on their appearance. Some questions you may consider asking yourself are: am I looking after my appearance to the best of my ability? Are my clothes appropriate for the image I wish to project?

Be Positive and Enthusiastic

Can you remember the last time you received poor customer service? Did the person look bored, disinterested, and as if they wanted to be anywhere but that place? Don’t be that person. Positivity and enthusiasm can both be developed, but once again it takes work. Here are a few tips to help you:

• Look for the best in people
• Associate with positive people
• Care deeply about something
• See life as an adventure
• Smile

Be Real and Authentic

Rather than being about who you appear to be, selling yourself is about letting others know who you are as a person. For this reason, lies and half-truths are a recipe for disaster later down the line. By telling the truth, you will earn both trust and respect which, in turn, will help you build a great reputation. Be yourself is what I always like to say. Not only that, it will make you feel good about yourself. The last thing you want to do is sell yourself out by compromising your values and principles. Stick with what you believe and respect others.

In conclusion a good proverb to follow is: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. – Philippians 4:13

I hope this is some help to those that read this.

The best way to overcome worries and failures is to find out what you need to do to come out of it. Fill your mind with positive thoughts and keep faith in God as this creates a ray of hope which enlightens your mind and subsequently your fear loses its hold upon you. Don’t look back at something which has already gone. Think of something which you can convert into success, as such action can release the amazing talents lying unused within you.

12 ways to overcome fear and frustrations in your life:
1. Know the source of your fear 

2. First accept what has happened to make your mind cool and calm.

3. Relax your body and feel the tensions living your body by doing some body relaxation techniques.

4. Keep faith in God.

5. Don’t waste time by bringing negative thoughts in your mind. Instead, think that, “there is no better time than to start now”.

6. Find out your weaknesses and turn them into strong points.

7. Start believing in your hidden abilities. 

8. Realise your potential and get motivated towards your Goal. 

9. Try to tackle your problem with dedication and determination. 

10. If you don’t find any solution, share your difficulties with your well wishers. They may have solution to your problem. 

11. Take some time to read motivational stories of those persons who have achieved success, in spite of tough times in their life. 

12. Always think of progress, prosperity and stay positive.

Have you heard the saying, “Attitude Is Everything”? While attitude might not really be “everything”, it is the single most significant determining factor of success in many situations. Here’s how it works:
Change your attitude and you automatically change:
1. your perspective
2. the way you interpret things
3. the decisions you make
4. the actions you take

5. the results you get

How To Shift Your Attitude
Intention: Decide what attitude you want to have, then set your intention to adopt that attitude. Frequently, this is all that is necessary to shift your attitude dramatically.
Break Your Pattern: If you catch yourself with a bad attitude, it can be useful to do something radical and surprising to break your pattern: jump up and down, dance in a circle, poor ice water over your head, sing at the top of your lungs, whistle a silly tune, put on some great music, or whatever to break your pattern. Then create a fresh attitude.
Role Models: Find people who are getting the kinds of results you would like to be getting. Watch them carefully to see what kind of attitude they have and how they express that attitude. Copy them.
Surround Yourself With Positive People: Attitudes are contagious. Who you surround yourself with and spend time with is probably influencing your attitudes way more than you are consciously aware. Enough said.
Ask Better Questions: We are constantly asking ourselves questions. Most of the time this is not a very conscious process. For example, something bad happens and we ask ourselves, “Why me?” Our minds start to find answers to that question, effectively building a case for why bad things happen to us, leading to a bad attitude, leading to more bad things happening. Make a list of the most empowering questions you can think of, and ask those instead. The possibilities are infinite. Here are a few to get you started:

1) How can I turn this problem into an opportunity?,

2) What would I do if I was already very successful?,

3) Who do I need to be to achieve my dream?,

4) What would my future (successful) self do?

Positive Attitude will keep you on the right track and away from failures. The law of attraction also explain the same fact that if you have negative thoughts then mostly you will be attracting negative results and negative circumstances for yourself. On the other hand if you have positive attitude you will be getting more success in life. If you were a pessimistic then this positive attitude could really help you.
