Inspiring Insights: Focus on What You Want. How you can get where you want in life.

When I was a kid, if I mucked up at school, didn’t do the dishes or pinched a chocolate biscuit without asking, I was in BIG trouble.

Quite often, even when I didn’t do anything wrong, it was like Dad was looking for something to yell at me about. At times I just wanted to crawl under a rock and disappear.

A sleepover for me was more like respite than recreation.

But when Dad and I worked on his race car, it was like working with a best friend, it was different!

For all his flaws, Dad was my hero.

I wanted to be a mechanic like him, have a team of mechanics like him, race cars like him... in fact all I wanted to do was be like him and make him happy.

We never had much money so Dad always built his own race cars. We always wanted to race sprint cars but we just couldn’t afford it.

At 12 years old, Dad and I built my first race car... it was a Valiant Charger.

I was 13 at my first race and in the first lap, a car crashed about 100m in front of me.

All I could see was this car, in the middle of the track... all I could think was “don’t hit that car, don’t hit that car, don’t hit that car”

Next thing, BANG! I crashed straight into it. I was shattered, upset, crying and when I came back to the pit area, Dad said to me - what were you thinking?!? I said

“I was thinking, don’t hit that car!”

Dad smiled, and said “Well... that’s a lesson you’ll never forget. When you focus on where you don’t want the car to go, guess where you end up? “

I knew the answer to that.

“Focus where you want to go and your body will do the rest... just pick a spot, focus on that and let your body do the rest... it knows what to do” he shared with me.

Of course, he was right, I’d been driving since I could remember and we had a test track at home. I’d spend hours practicing and learning how to control a car.

Years and years later, there was a raffle to win a drive in a Sprint Car and when it was drawn, my name was called out!!!

I was so excited!

If you don’t know what a sprint car is, you can watch the video.

Basically, they are 10 times the power of your average road car and weigh about 1/3 of your average family sedan. They are scary fast and they go around a circuit dirt track.

Anyway, on the day I was petrified, totally scared for what would happen if I crashed…but also excited to have my first drive in a sprint car.

I suited up, strapped in, got a driving crash course (no pun intended) and headed out to the track.

Each lap I was gaining confidence and decided to see how much I could push it. On the final lap, I lost control…sliding towards the wall.

They say we have 60,000 - 80,000 thoughts per day but I’m sure at least 1,000 ran through my mind in a couple of seconds...

All I could see was the wall coming at me!

And all these thoughts were going through my mind…

How am I going to pay for this...This is going to hurt... I’m going to look stupid...

That walls getting closer...

What do I do?!?

Then, all of the sudden, this voice came to my mind.

It was Dad!

Just pick a spot, focus on that and let your body do the rest. It felt like someone grabbed the top of my helmet, turned my head, I picked a spot and trusted my body to do the rest.

The moral of the story... focus on what you want, your body already knows what to do.
