Last night, John and I went to Jen's B-day party at this bar.  We played pool, and I noticed that games are all in the mind.  What I do I mean.

I played league tennis before my divorce. I played this older lady.  I immediately thought; oh, I have this game.  She can't keep up with a young one.  But her mind was wise.  She beat me with placement.  She placed the ball in out-of-reach areas from me.  She used her mind to beat me.

Now I see how pool is a mind game.  Yes, it is played with angles, but for me, it comes down to the last ball, sometimes the last two balls to play.

I played my first pool tournament this past weekend at a friend house.  I felt like I was ready.  It was not bad, I was beat with only one ball left on the table. On my first game, I noticed that I did not have the confidences to win.  That mind game comes to play.  Yes, I did not play the right angle, but I did not believe in my self.

I am choking at the end of all my games; that is what I have notice last night.  That seems like my life right now, huh.

Recognizing is the first step, moving to a solution is the next.

What to do.......

Till next time......
