Aim for the sky

Sometimes we have to set goals for ourselves. For instance, here I am trying to make a basketball shot on a 10' net with a tennis ball. Quite a feat for a 19-month old. But I need to have goals or I'd get bored with myself.

I was watching the gusty and cold Masters golf tournament on television today. It ocurred to me everyone was having a hard time just making par. Tiger Woods is in the final pairing while Phil Mickelson is just four strokes off the lead going into tomorrow's final round. I have strong admiration for both Tiger and Phil for it seems that they've always set and achieved lofty goals. The competition between them can only make them individually stronger. Since 2001, Tiger has won this tournament three times, Phil twice. The eventual winner tomorrow will take home a check for $1.3M and the much-coveted green jacket. Good luck to everyone down in Georgia.

I am going to keep shooting until I get it right. You can count on it.
