In the movie, The Legend of Bagger Vance, Junah speaks of losing his swing. The golf game is an amazing metaphor to so many lessons in life. There are times that we lose our vision and are tested by our trials and hardships. When we feel like we have lost our "authentic swing" we have lost the ability to truly see ourselves, our souls and the possibilities. Having a Bagger Vance, a spiritual guide, show up for us to find our own vision again is available if we stay open. Guidance can show up in many ways by seeing the volume of visions within ourselves. Taking a look inside to see ones own strength and courage to stay true to your unique way to be in this world is just a breath away. Before you hit the ball, take a moment to come into yourself with a breath and stay focused on your visions. Just like the golf game, life isn't about winning, its about playing. Within that playing is the ability to look, love and laugh at yourself. Love is a very powerful tool and it starts from inside. It is at these times that our true authentic sweet swing shows up.
"So be lonely. Learn your way around loneliness. Make a map of it. Sit with it, for once in your life. Welcome to the human experience. But never again use another person's body or emotions as a scratching post for your own unfulfilled yearnings."
-Liz Gilbert, Eat Pray Love
