EMPOWERMENT PAGE

THEME: Create new opportunities through golf and education.

• SCRIPT: Develop a spirit of persistence and realize that a defeat is a temporary delay. Learn something from your defeat that will help you succeed.

• FOCUSING LEADS TO EMPOWERMENT - MGAA believes, "Goal Setting" is the key to "SUCCESS."

10 STEPS TO SUCCESS

1. Set a "Goal" that demands your best - Set it high enough that it will take effort and energy to achieve that goal.
2. Develop a burning desire to make your "Goal" a reality. (Realize that it has to become a "Passion" to you.)
3. Keep your eye on the "Goal." (Don't let obstacles prevent you from achieving your goal.)
4. Refuse to listen to negative criticism. (Your "Goal" may not be the same as your friend's.)
5. Surround yourself with encouraging friends - (You keep positive and people around you will be positive.) Understand that your goals can translate to someone else and so forth and so forth.
6. Look for a "Personal" lesson. (In all defeats and all successes in life.)
7. Practice "Self Control." - (a) Don't let you emotions control you. (b) Don't give in to feelings, move on and get it done, lay it aside.
8. Believe you can reach your "Goal." - Instruction & Determination=Empowerment
9. Rely upon God to enable you. Strengthen yourself. Don't give up. Be persistent.
10. Resurrect "Goals" you had in the past. (Past goals can also be achieved.)

MGAA would like to thank Dr. Charles Stanley of "In Touch Ministries" for his input.
