Loved this non fiction, fiction read. I often wonder what Rafa is thinking, how he interprets events, does he think? This book could easily fit into the self help category, the overall message is our lives go where I eyes go, or our attention. Added a couple of quotes below that jumped out at me:
“the race is long – to finish first, first you must finish” or perhaps more rightly for the thinker in me, must start first:)
“The race is long. It is better to drive within oneself and finish the race behind the others than it is to drive too hard and crash”.
“Inside each of us resides the truth, the absolute truth. But sometimes the truth is hidden in a hall of mirrors…….we must shatter the mirrors. We must look into ourselves and root out the distortions until that thing which we know in our hearts…stands before us”
“I know this much about racing in the rain. I know it is about balance. It is about anticipation and patience………..but racing in the rain is also about the mind. It is about owning one’s own body. About believing that one’s car is merely an extension of the car, and the rain is an extension of the track, and the sky is an extension of the rain. It is about believing that you are not you, you are everything. And everything is you.”
