I actually agree with the comment, "Don't get your hopes up." But for a contrary reason.

Get ready to be mind-blown by this cat. He’s an Ultramarathoner (not just your typical run-of-the-mill normal 26.2 mile marathon runner - he’s an ULTRA one).

I like to think of Devon as the Queens, NY version of a hybrid of Yoda and Mark Twain. He is a lifelong student of the mind and a masterful storyteller. In our conversation today, he shares with us several powerful and accessible disciplines and practices that we can use day to day to strengthen the way we use our minds, create more joy and be more successful.

I so agree. And I love this image. It reminds me that without awareness, each of us is simply a puppet on a string, being directed by circumstances and external forces.
If I summarize the entire process of Mental Toughness Training, or Heightening Consciousness (terms which I use synonymously), into one word, that word is AWARENESS.

Some golf commentators were talking about where confidence comes from. I was amazed at what they said. "Well, you need to start seeing some results."
"You just gotta wait it out." "You just hope it eventually comes back."
NO! NO! NO!
