Golf Balls?!

So as you all may have read, all last week I was doing posts that covered the different tracks on inspirational speaker Eric Thomas' mixtape, The Blueprint to Success. Since then I've had inspirations in various places, but I figure I had to write a few more about the mixtape since it was so captivating and motivational. So on one of the tracks titled "Adele", Thomas talks about singer Adele and her major success after a bad breakup, but I'm not going to talk about Adele and her story. I'm going to talk about golf balls! Ever wonder why golf balls are covered in dimples? Well originally, the golf ball was smooth, but over a period of time, after being hit by golf clubs, they became dented. Usually when you have something dented, it's useless, but in the case of the golf ball, the dimples actually allowed the ball to travel further than before. Once the company making the balls figured this out, they replaced the old golf balls with the one that we know of and play with today. Some of us have been beaten and hit so hard that we're dented and marred. We've gone through struggles in our past, and it may seem to us that we are useless. However, the reason why we have trials and are made imperfect is because it makes us stronger. We have a purpose now, and, because of that, we will go further. No one is perfect, and everyone has a story, but some people use their story to create greatness and triumph over their adversities. If you were born into poverty then that's an even better reason to be successful because you know how it feels to be poor and you don't want you or your children to feel that way. If you have been denied an opportunity, that's no excuse to give up because you've been without for this long and you have no choice but to have what you want eventually. So it's not necessarily a bad thing to have dimples and scratches from your trials. They only time it is bad is when you let those things control you and inevitably hold you back from being the best you you can be. So take advantage of your imperfections...they make you perfect.
