How to Demolish Discouragement in One Step like Tiger Woods

Watching the TV special, “The 2019 Master’s: A Sunday Unlike Any Other,” reminds me how Tiger Woods overcame discouragement by making a simple decision.

After all, adversity drops in quickly like a duck on a June bug.

Peace of mind evaporates when . . .

  • health
  • career
  • money
  • relationships

. . . go up in smoke.

But, I’m intrigued how a person can change their life with one simple decision.

Load up on this vitamin with your coffee daily and make your risks go away.

Vitamin D and depression

My last physical, the doctor said my vitamin D level was too low.

I was shocked because I drink milk all the time.

“You should really consider spending 3-4 hours per week in the sun.”

I replied, “Seriously?  What about skin cancer doc?”

Inspect Your Ancestry and Snap Out of Depression Today

Can you know scientifically that your ancestry is from the heavens rather than caves?

Lurking behind depression is a Bigfoot myth that first life is scientifically proven to be from materials.

You wake up every day thinking, “I’m nothing but a monkey’s nephew or niece,” an animal with no other purpose but to survive and exploit anyone or anything in the way.

Our children learn that first life originated from primitive materials and that this is science.

So a foundation of despair and meaninglessness is laid early.

But, a growing number of scientists are publicly acknowledging the dismal failures of materialistic explanations for first life.

Award-winning Finnish bio-scientist Matti Leisola details these failures at length in his recent book, Heretic: One Scientist’s Journey From Darwin to Design.

Over 40 years collaborating and debating facts with Nobel prize winning scientists, Matti flipped from Darwin to Intelligent Design (ID).

The startling takeaway is how many brilliant scientists take evolution on faith without examining the facts.

Another takeaway is how caustic and dismissive entrenched evolutionary scientists are toward any alternative when facts point away from Darwinism.

Their careers and livelihood depend on an old theory losing ground badly.

Here’s why the facts point to Intelligent Design over random accident for earliest life.

Why?  Why?  Why?

Looks like she had it all.

  • MBA
  • Law degree
  • Beauty queen
  • TV correspondent

But, “she was dealing with high-functioning depression,” her mother said.

In March 2021, Cheslie wrote an essay in Allure Magazine.

“Turning 30 feels like a cold reminder that I’m running out of time to matter in society’s eyes. How do I shake society’s unwavering norms when I’m facing the relentless tick of time? I discovered that the world’s most important question, especially when asked repeatedly and answered frankly, is: why? Why work so hard to capture the dreams I’ve been taught by society to want when I continue to find only emptiness?” Selected quotes, Allure Magazine, March 4, 2021

Three pathways light our escape from emptiness and depression.

Dump Everyday Doldrums With a New Song for Joy

Add joy to your soul with a new music venue.

I ordered a Jean Paul alto saxophone a week before Thanksgiving wondering if I would remember the keys, let alone read and play music.

But, the spark to play was ignited out of a desire to do something new and fresh for myself, family and friends.

Launch holiday sax

Through an app called Tomplay, I found wonderful music and accompaniment for a holiday play list.

  • What a Wonderful World
  • Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
  • Never My Love
  • Swan Lake-Tchaikovsky

Merriment surrounded us before Thanksgiving dinner.

My 18-month-old grandnephew was swaying while family and friends were smiling.

Then, I started thinking how joy is launched by simply playing a new song.
