One Good Shot

Been reading a book called The Energy Bus on the recommendation of a friend and noticed an interesting takeaway.  The book is a fictional story designed to impart truths or the learning.  In the midst of the story, the main character is challenged to review each day like a golf game.  At the end of a golf game, you remember and talk about your good shots (or so I am told, as I am an epic failure at golf!).  Even if you had a terrible round, you'll remember the sweet drive you hit on #3 or the long putt you made on #7.  It's what keeps golfers coming back.  If all you did was reflect on the negative shots, why even bother dropping serious coin to relive that experience?

But the author says that's exactly what we do with our days- our interactions at work, our interactions with our family, etc.  We reflect on the negatives and the missed opportunities rather than remembering the successes and the good moments.

What if we remembered the good shots of our day and focused on getting more of those?
