On Conquering the Mind to Achieve Greatness - Kapil Gupta

From On the Mark Golf Podcast with Kapil Gupta MD
On the nuances of professional sports and life, as opposed to simply performance.
The interiority of the human being is fundamentally where all greatness comes from, though it's been largely ignored in modern society.
It's about addressing the deepest elements of a human being,
So that all the things that arise superficial to that, come out the way they're supposed to come out.

How does one navigate turbulent waters?
Like all things, it becomes difficult when you view it as a prescription.
Everything that comes packaged as a prescription, tip, or technique, will always be difficult for you because you will be doing it for an ulterior motive. It isn't genuine. It isn't from the heart. And if it isn't from the heart, you're doing it by instruction.
And the person who tries not to care will be subject to it just as much as the one who does care.
So it really comes down to falling in love with the idea of not caring. Not (and this is the key point) to prevent caring in order to play better - that is an ulterior motive which will always fail, because it is not sincere. It is done for a dangling carrot. When there are no carrots and you want things for their own reward then the mind actually begins to subside. And it begins to acquiesce to your demands.
But as long as you know that you're doing it not to care so that your shots will be better, or that you'll get a better score... It's a trick, and the mind will see the trick and it will exploit it.
