Iโ€™ve been thinking about Justin Roseโ€™s reflection on why he putted better at the Ryder Cup โ€” in that format, heโ€™s not playing for ego, stats, or even money.

Heโ€™s playing โ€œfor the boys and the badge.โ€ ๐ŸŒ๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ

Thereโ€™s something deeply purpose-driven about that โ€” about showing up for something bigger than yourself.

Simon Sinek might call it an infinite game: contributing to something we may never fully achieve, but thatโ€™s always worth pursuing. โ™พ๏ธ

My mum once gave me a Gneiss-stone necklace from the Hebridean Islands in Scotland โ€” the rock is over five billion years old. ๐Ÿชจ It connects me to my heritage, but also reminds me that the world is much bigger, older, and more enduring than any of us. ๐ŸŒ

With so much uncertainty around us, that perspective helps.

It also makes me think of my mum โ€” the only woman playing in a Royal and Ancient golf match with about 100 men this week.
She isn't trying to prove anything, just quietly breaking glass ceilings so others donโ€™t have to. โ›ณ๐Ÿ’ช

It's why I try to hold the torch โ€” to care for what matters, to keep showing up for others, and to keep the flame alive ๐Ÿ”ฅ for future generations, in the hope of a world that holds us all. ๐Ÿคโœจ
