Do you feel that good things always happen to other people? If someone told you Yoga could change your life exponentially would you believe them? Positive change starts from within. Yoga will help you from the inside out, but you must believe you deserve better, envision it, take action, and never give up.

When I was growing up, some members of my family believed that good things only happen to other people. I was told, Success does not happen to our kind of people. Yet, some members of my family did not listen to this talk. My grandfather went into business for himself as a successful general contractor during the Depression.

The first book he gave me, as a child, was his copy of How to Win Friends and Influence people, by Dale Carnegie. I was a book worm, so I read it more than once. We did not have computers in those days, so I referred to it so many times, the binding cracked and the pages fell out.

My Uncle had read the same copy, so I cannot take all the credit for the wear. Heres the interesting part: My Uncle went into business for himself and owned two successful shoe stores before he passed away. I left the corporate world and opened a wellness center, which trains Yoga teachers worldwide.

My Uncle and Grandfather never studied hatha Yoga. Yet they both practiced Jnana Yoga without realizing it. So, what is Jnana Yoga? Jnana Yoga is a spiritual path of compassion, discipline, study, visualization, and meditation.

As they say, drive for "show and putt for dough". Battles and bets are won on the putting green and today. I'll be sharing some good tips and succinct tips on how to putt well. You'll find immense results.

When I first started playing golf, putting was a mystery, I was puzzled by why it was hard to judge the distance the ball rolled. many putts later, it was evident that the ball sometimes hopped or it would skid on the ground before rolling toward the hole.

Therein lies the problem. If the ball should skid or hop, energy is loss through friction or the hopping motion. When that happens, it becomes difficult to be consistent and roll the ball the correct distance. We don't want any unusual movements in the ball that would cost the ball to fall short. And when we hit too hard to compensate for lost distance, the ball could roll past the hole and off the green.

I found that the setup is very important. Here's what we need to do.

-Keep the biceps tucked into the chest, and armpits closed.
-Bend the elbows so they form a triangle.
-Angle the right wrist such that is firm and cocked.
-swing the putter face perpendicularly back with good tempo then back and sweep through the ball.
-Be sure to keep the wrist angle firm, do not allow the right wrist to break down after hitting the ball.

this causes a brushing motion that will cause the ball to have just enough top spin without lifting the ball such that it hops and also prevent friction because of a skidding motion.
