Yesterday was the fourth-lowest audience to ever watch the race for the hallowed Green Jacket at Augusta. What people missed was the epic collapse of last year's Masters winner Jordan Spieth as he blew a five stroke lead with nine holes to play, with the biggest fall coming at the 12th hole, otherwise known as "Amen Corner." Suffice it to say, Spieth's prayers weren't answered on this day as he lost to Danny Willett. He maintained his composure throughout the Norman-esque collapse, yet he was unable to recover in time and saw the Englishman walk away with the title.
We all have those moments in life; these moments in which we think everything is going well and before we know it, disaster strikes. Not on the golf course, but in life. A mysterious illness, financial setbacks, the news of a loved one passing away without warning, we all experience things that can change our lives in one way or another. Spieth can recover from this within a month, but the question is how do we deal with the shifts in the wind in our own lives? Do we press on to the goal ahead, or do we allow it to bring us down? The design of maturity is not how we are when things are well, but when they are not.
