Fear,Anger,Love/Stop,Go,Corner

My buddy took a driving course for super cars. He drove all kinds of really expensive cars. It cast him $4000.00 dollars for a couple days of lessons. One of the lessons involved a bowl attached to the hood of the car with a tennis ball rolling around in it. They had to weave through an obstacle course without the ball flying out of the bowl---whoever did it the fastest won.
The most important thing he learned he told me was about what a car could do.
He said it could do 3 things. 1. Stop 2. Go and 3. Corner. He explained to me that each of these aspects works according to ratios. Meaning that you can't stop as well when you are also trying to go. Foot on gas and brake at the same time for example. Here is another scenario. Your driving about 60 and realize that you are about to miss your turn so you begin to brake and turn at the same time. The result is usually a loss of traction and you miss the turn and stopping takes alot longer than you had time to. Many of us have sat stuck in a ditch or peeling our car off a pole in an intersection wondering what just happened.

I think that sometimes it is better to do one thing at a time, sometimes it is essential to do them in the right order, and other times it is important to know where you need to focus your energy most 60/40, 90/10, more love less anger, less go more corner etc. I think our emotions fit this as well in some aspects.

When we try to love and fear at the same time it doesn't work well. Sometimes we don't tell people we love the truth because we are afraid to hurt them.--and then they never grow up or don't see reality. Sometimes when I am agry I say things I don't mean to people I love. It is when these powerfull forces are both exerting their power that sometimes my emotions come out all wrong. Love can make my anger very irrational. Then sometimes my love constrains my fear or anger.

Try this next time you go into a corner slow down first, hold speed while you corner, and accelerate out. Then think about your emotions and add to this blogg. I think that it is a helpfull way to look at it, if you find it helpfull please help us think it through more thouroughly.
