Well, let me tell ya, this “kelsey dalition” thing, sounds fancy, but it’s just life, ain’t it? Like, you wanna be good at somethin’, you gotta stick with it. No shortcuts, y’hear? My old man used to say, “If you wanna catch a fish, you gotta sit by the water.” Same thing.
Folks talk about “success” all the time. What’s that even mean? To me, it means gettin’ by, doin’ your best, and not causin’ too much trouble. Some folks, they say you need all these fancy things, like “resilience” and “innovation.” Sounds like somethin’ a city slicker would say. We just call it “grit” back home. You get knocked down, you get back up. That’s it. Plain and simple. No need to make it sound all highfalutin’.
- First thing, you gotta believe in yourself. If you don’t think you can do it, who will?
- Second, work hard. Don’t be lazy. Nothin’ good ever came from sittin’ on your behind.
- Third, keep tryin’. Even if you mess up. Heck, everyone messes up. That’s how you learn.
This fella, Cameron Young, this Kelsey woman’s husband, he plays that golf game. They say he’s good, real good. But you think he just woke up one day and knew how to swing that stick? No sir. He practiced. Probably a whole lot. Like, hours and hours. Someone said somethin’ about 10,000 hours? That’s a lot of hours. But that’s what it takes. You can’t just sit around and expect good things to happen. You gotta get out there and make ’em happen.
And don’t go thinkin’ there’s some big secret to it all. There ain’t no magic pill. It’s just hard work and stickin’ to it. That’s the “secret” everyone’s lookin’ for. Start small, they say. Well, that makes sense. You can’t build a barn in a day, you know. Gotta lay one brick at a time. Same with life. Gotta take it one step at a time.
They talk about “enthusiasm.” Well, I guess that’s just likin’ what you do. If you don’t like it, you ain’t gonna stick with it. Gotta have that fire in your belly, they say. That makes sense too. If you’re just goin’ through the motions, you’re not gonna get very far.
And this “push” thing? Yeah, you gotta push yourself. Nobody’s gonna do it for ya. Gotta get up early, stay late, work hard. Sometimes you’ll be tired, sometimes you’ll wanna quit. But you gotta keep pushin’. That’s how you get things done. That’s how you make somethin’ of yourself.
And when you fall down, and you will, you gotta get back up. That’s what they call “resilient.” Fancy word, but it just means you don’t give up. You learn from your mistakes. You keep tryin’. That’s how you become successful. Not just in golf or business, but in life. It’s about bein’ a good person, workin’ hard, and not givin’ up. That’s the real “kelsey dalition” or whatever you wanna call it.
Even fancy folks like this Cameron Young and his wife, they started somewhere. They lived with their folks for a while, saved their money. That’s what most of us do. It ain’t glamorous, but it’s real. It’s life. And it’s how you build somethin’ good. So don’t go chasin’ after some fancy idea of success. Just work hard, be good to people, and don’t give up. That’s the best advice I can give ya.
This whole “success mindset” thing? It’s just about thinkin’ you can do it and then doin’ it. Simple as that. Don’t let nobody tell you different. And don’t go lookin’ for secrets, cause the only secret is hard work. Plain and simple, good old-fashioned hard work. That’s the truth, no matter what those city folks try to tell ya.
