While the limelight of a sportsperson’s life might appear to be all shimmery, deep down they go through a lot. Sometimes, a few failures on the course result so badly that those can mentally affect the golfer. One of the LPGA stars was going through the same thing and had been really hard on herself. But recently, as a positive update on her situation, she posted a beautiful poem on her mental health.

LPGA star meets an uncanny obstacle 

Jenny Shin is one of the golfers on the LPGA circuit who turned pro back in 2010. But despite being on the tour for 13 years, she has only bagged two event wins. One was at the Concord in 2010, and another was at the Volunteers of America Texas Shootout. 

Quite evidently, the once-prodigal talent’s failure to win took a toll on the golfer’s psyche, and she was suffering from mental issues that led to a passive stage in her life. But as a recent update surfaced, the LPGA phenom seems to have written a poem on World Mental Health Day, and that came as a relief.

The poem reads, “Today is World Mental Health Day/ Today I will be better/ Today I will find peace that I couldn’t find yesterday / Today I will be kinder to myself/ Today I will tell myself that things will be okay/ Today I will find a way to relax/ It’s going to be hard but one minute, one hour, one day at a time/ Because tomorrow will be even better.”

The tone of the poesy sounds self-inspirational and caters as a way to motivate oneself.  What do you think of Jenny Shin’s poetry? Let us know in the comments below.
