Mind Body Disc started a post entitled
Wisdom Wednesday. The image above comes from the 11-19-2014 post. It's a short post and hits a chord with me as I love being outside throwing plastic around a disc golf course!
The main gist of the post is "We shouldn’t just practice to just be able to get something right, we should be practicing until it’s second nature. Until we can’t get it wrong." Wise words, indeed.
He included the image and John Muir quote above in the post and recommends reading a book by John Muir. I hadn't thought of that, but, it sounds like a good read for the winter months. I've seen the PBS show on John Muir and he definitely is worth reading, imho. That might even make a good Christmas gift idea!
For those who don't know John Muir, he was "a Scottish-American naturalist, author, and early advocate of preservation of wilderness in the United States. His letters, essays, and books telling of his adventures in nature, especially in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, have been read by millions. His activism helped to preserve the Yosemite Valley, Sequoia National Park and other wilderness areas. The Sierra Club, which he founded, is a prominent American conservation organization."
