"It doesn’t detract from your ability" - Phil Mickelson attempts to motivate people to live in moderation
Phil Mickelson, in his long text format, shared that after taking long sessions to get over his gambling habits, he was now able to sit and take his life more seriously and live the moment.
The 53-year-old golfer urged everyone to enjoy this football season and live in moderation. He wrote:
"This football season and beyond, enjoy yourself with moderation so it doesn’t detract from your ability to be present. In my experience, the moments with the ones you love will be far more remembered than any bet you win or fantasy league triumph."
