Looking Back To the Future

Upon reflection looking back

Being I as a person as you yourself are

The past is a mixed bag no matter
who you are

It wasn't all good likewise I couldn't
have been all that bad either

Especially when it comes to the bad
they more than any other probably
weren't

And the older I get and more life experience
I gain over time using golf as a metaphors
to explain in actual reality is this

If I went for a lesson and someone of
me thereafter enquirer taking the time
me to ask

What if anything of any value did you
indeed learn or were you taught from
your coach today

Well the 1 thing that stood out that
made perfect sense which I kind of
in fact already knew

Was when he instructed me to
lighten my grip as I am holding on
way to hard and I also need to relax
as I am far way to tense

And when it comes to going with the
flow and getting into the swing of things

Everything becomes so much easier and
flow's more naturally once we ourselves
accept and rather choose to follow the
path of least resistance

And acceptance as such doesn't actually
mean you have accepted the fact that
whatever has happened actually has

But rather what acceptance actually
means is until you truly actually accept 
in the most literal sense

There is no possiblity you can in fact
actually move on or forward
