Not being in Turkey to give a training course in NLP, I have nothing to do but rest, or relax, or do nothing, which is great for a Sunday.
I woke early, listening in the early hours to BBC Radio Five Live, and their coverage of the Japanese F1 Grand Prix. I lay there listening, urging Lewis Hamilton to stay in front in his McLaren racing car. I could not stand or lie there with the excitement and tension of the race, so I got up and switched the TV on to watch it there, only to see Hamiton leaving the racing track to enter the pit lane, and fail to negotiate a small turn, ending up stuck in a gravel trap and failing to finish the race.
Hamilton is even though a young guy, and what they class as a rookie, is a very accomplished driver, having years of racing experience under his belt. As he raced around the race circuit, it was obvious there was something very wrong with his tires, it looked as if they were wearing out, loosing the rubber, even more so as his speed was reduced and he was overtaken, loosing first place. But he raced on.
Perhaps he was comfortable, confident that his tires would last just one more lap. When he decided to pit, he was not able to control the car, and he lost out, he was out of the race.
There are times when we hang onto what we are used to, the things we are comfortable with, not realising when the signs and the signals say “stop”, “make a change”.
How many of us have a medical problem, a pain here and there, yet choose to do nothing about it until it could be too late to treat the ailment?
How many of us think that “it will never happen to me”, and it usually does?
How many times do we trust people, saying they would never do anything wrong against us, yet they do?
Perhaps we should become more aware what others are telling us, of our own inner voice, our intuition, which says stop what you are doing and do something else.
