>  See the reaching...!  Major Nesmeth was a week end golfer.Then he
> completely quit playing for   seven years .Amazingly enough,the next time
> back on the course he shot   like a  highly trained Professional.
>   During the 7 year sabbatical, he took no golf lessons and his physical
> condition actually deteriorated.  As a matter of fact,he spent those seven
> years in a small cage approximately  four and a half feet tall and
slightly
> over five feet long.He was a prisoner of war in North Vietnam.     His
story
> illustrates that we must "See the reaching" if we expect to
>  "reach the reaching", and accomplish our goals in life.    Major Nesmeth
> was in isolation for seven years of the time he was confined   as a
prisoner
> of war.He saw no one,talked to no one and was unable to perform a normal
> routine of physical activities.For the first few months he did virtually
> nothing but to think about his situation and a worry a lot about his
future
> .Then he decided he had to take some definite,positive steps if he   was
> going to retain his sanity and stay alive.    He selected his favorite
golf
> course and started playing golf in his cage.
>  In his own mind he played a full 18 holes everyday.He played them to the
>  last minute detail.    He saw himself dressed in his golfing clothes as
he
> stepped up to the
>  first tee.He completely visualized every weather condition under which he
> had played.
>   He saw the exact size of the tee box , the grass and the trees,the birds
> and all the of the embellishments on a golf course.    He saw in minute
> detail the exact way he held his left hand on the club  and the way he put
> his right hand on the club and the way he put his right   hand on the club
> .He carefully lectured himself on keeping his left arm  straight.He
> admonished himself to keep his eye on the ball.He cautioned  himself about
> taking the back swing slowly and easily while remembering to   keep his
eye
> on the ball.He instructed himself about a smooth down swing  and follow
> through on his shot.He then visualized the flight of the ball   through
the
> air,hit the ground and roll until it came to a stop at the  exact spot he
> selected.    He had taken the same length of time in his own mind he would
> have taken   on a golf course,taking each step to the ball he had just
> hit.In other  words, he decided to become a meaningful specific rather
than
> remain a   wandering generality.    Seven days a week for seven full years
> he played 18 holes of perfect  golf.Not once did he ever miss a shot.Not
> once did the ball ever stay out   of the cup.Perfect.    In the process of
> shooting mental golf Major Nesmeth was able to occupy
>  four full hours of every  day and maintain his sanity as a result.He was
> also able to do a great
>  deal with his golf game.    His story illustrates the point I want you to
> see.     If you want to reach your Goal,you must "see the reaching" in
your
> own   mind before you actually  arrive at your Goal.    If you want to
> improve your life style,better grades, a home of your  dreams ,your
> relationship  etc., then let me urge you to reread this story   very
> carefully.Follow the exact procedure a few minutes every day and the   day
> will come when you will not only "see the reaching" you will have
"reached
> the reaching" - you will be there.     This is "practice without
pressure".
> This occurs with the basket ball player shooting practice goals , the
> field Goal kicker kicking field goals before the game,the young doctor
> practicing on the cadavers in medical school and the salesman going
through
> his demonstration in a training class.     Enough "Practice without
> pressure," regardless of your field of endeavor,   will lead to a better
> performance when there is a pressure.
