Motor racing has been a part of my life since I was a young child and it lives to be one of my earliest memories in life. It serves a different passion to the one it used to only a few short years ago, but irrespective of that, Motor racing has taught and given a lot to me in life, so here I write an entry about the fastest, most advanced and certainly most expensive sport in the World – Motor Racing! Tears of joy and tears of sadness… Laughter… Hope… Shock… Frustration – some of the most notable feelings and experiences that I’ve had over time when observing motor racing. The greatest experience though that I’ve had out of this passion is the lesson I’ve learnt to associate with life. Life is something to be hyped up over because you always start with everything being possible. After starting you begin to get a feel for life, for how everything is going and you’ll soon learn whether you’re giving enough effort to keep ahead of what you’re really capable of! …This is where you begin to learn about life! In life when either on a high or even a low, bad things will happen, but you want to know something which most people fail to ever realise – that’s life! Yep… that’s it, that’s life – it happens. So what are you going to do? I believe you value the lesson learnt from that bad experience and take it with you to making sure that the bad experience doesn’t happen again. You can’t give up because of something bad that happens to you in life; there will always be another chance to have what you ultimately desire, but the chance will only exist if you choose to take it! However, it may be that the ‘low’ you are on is in fact the very bad thing that is happening to you in life and so you begin to lose motivation – “wow, no way back from there, right”? Wrong! A harsh truth is that you aren’t deserving of your gift if you are not ‘willing’ to endure a struggle. Who ever said to you it was going to be easy? I don’t think anyone ever did! The lessons that cause the most pain are the ones which make us strongest in the end. Kick your self pity to the side and find in your blood the fighter within No matter what at, I love the ability to try something and expose myself to the possibility of failure, because when I do, all it really proves to me is that I ‘can’ do better; and like the story of ‘the little engine that could’, “if you think you can do it, you can”. There are so many ways to see life yet we all seem so prone to see it in the same way that everyone else does – that anything we want to do we simply aren’t capable of. It doesn’t help either when people try to tell you this, or when people are holding you down in one way or another. Perhaps you just don’t have anyone at all to help you. What ever it is you want in life go into it with a passion because from a dream is where it’s all possible. Believe that you will go through hard times and you will see those hard times in a brighter light than anyone else will ever see; but above all, keep believing in that dream - in that very thing you felt possible, because one day you will experience the same sense of feeling that you had when having that very first dream to be what you wanted to be. “I’ve always believed that you should never, ever give up and you should always keep fighting even when there’s only a slightest chance” – Michael Schumacher (Racing Driver) “My stuff is about someone who wrestles openly and honestly with issues and finds their way to a good, happy place. I think that’s a really hard earned happiness” – Evan Handler (Actor) “Success is not whether you achieved victory, but whether you gave the effort that could’ve led you to victory” – Jose Thorne (some-guy)
