I saw a pothole in front of me on Connecticut Avenue this morning and I hit it. Even though winter is long behind us, the roads are still a mess from the cold, the freezing and contracting, the salt.
If you focus on a pothole, you will hit it. If you’re not aware of it, you may still hit it but if you focus on where you want to go, you won’t hit it.
“Often things happen to race cars in the heat of the race…..perhaps a clutch fails. Brakes go soft from overheating. ….When faced with one of these problems, the poor driver crashes. The average driver gives up. The great drivers drive through the problem…..They figure out a way to continue racing…..It makes one realize that the physicality of our world is a boundary to us only if our will is weak; a true champion can accomplish things that a normal person would think impossible.”
“In racing, they say that your car goes where your eyes go. The driver who cannot tear his eyes away from the wall as he spins out of control will meet that wall; the driver who looks down the track as he feels his tires break free will gain control of his vehicle.”
“Your car goes where your eyes go. Simply another way of saying that which you manifest is before you.” The Art of Racing in the Rain (2008) by Garth Stein
What you focus on is what you’ll get. Be well. DIY.
Whatever you think you can do or believe you can do, begin it, because action has magic, grace and power in it. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)
