How to be the Best Driver in the World

"The best car safety device is a rear-view mirror with a cop in it." – Dudley Moore

How much do you in-joy your driving?

I’ve never felt so warm as I did the other night, in my car.
Children, women and random guys all smiling at me as I was wandering the roads.

I’ve rarely taken up the wheel simply to talk about how it feels.
I’ve never been the guy that
who would make up reaonsons for writing. Looking back though,
I must have been guided to do so for the purposes of
sharing the unique experience of joyous driving through this post.

Watching the city. I was dreaming of a new way of
implementing driving rules for the city, or rather, removing all rules.
There’s an example in Europe where there are no traffic lights.
Where people trust, and the accident rate is approximately 0%.

One day a friend had said to me, happy is where I want to be.
I told him, "How do you feel when you drive?"

He smiled. He understood.

The Courage to Create

I love how Jason took that above piece of writing that took me literally 15 seconds to write and posted it, without asking me.

That’s how we roll.

While Jason was around yesterday, I wrote a list of about 25 things that I wanted to do. One of them, was to create art, poetry, blog posts, clients and so on, a million times faster than I was doing. This little push of encouragement is awesome. Sometimes that’s what we need, as human beings. A little push to flap our wings.

Osho has a really great story that I will share here:

MAN is not aware of what he is capable unless he comes to realize it.

It is just like a small young bird. The bird, sitting in the shelter the mother and the father have made, watches them fly, can see the delight of their flight. He himself would also like to fly in the same way, be on the wing in the infinite sky, under the sun. Seeing them going higher, moving with the winds, a great urge arises in him also. But he is not aware that he is capable of the same flight, the same delight, the same dance. He is not even aware that he has wings.

It takes a little time for the mother and the father to persuade him. And they have a certain methodology to persuade him. The mother may sit just a little higher on another branch and give a call to the child. The child tries to fly but is afraid he may fall. But the mother goes on calling him; that gives him confidence. Sometimes it is needed for the father to actually push him out of the shelter. There is fear, he is nervous, but one thing is certain: for the first time he knows he has wings.

He flutters his wings. He does not know how to fly, but the mother is not far away; he manages to reach her

the miracle has happened.

Too often, all we need to do is simply be simple. Do something and then run with it. Don’t make the mistake of everyone else, think so much that it ruins the authenticity of who you are and what you want to create. For what you want to do: Just think possible, and think that it’s possible… let the universe decide the rest.

Happiness is an internal thing. I read a story recently about how this famous philosopher (forget the name, I don’t really care about names), once visited a tribal village and became very jealous. They were very poor in everyway, and literally had nothing. They never judged, never compared, just were themselves and they were brilliantly happy. People in big cities with so much to do, like New York, are among the most bored and unhappy populations in the world. Yet, a lot gets created in New York, and in a sense there is a lot of abundance everywhere. The very best is to have the happiness and contentment of the tribal village, and the highest abundance that a big city like New York offers.

To give value to society by just being yourself in the truest form is like drinking a cocktail of Brandy Alexander, a creamy chocolate drink of brandy, dark creme de cacao and cream, topped with nutmeg.

I’ve never drank that drink (I will one day, simply because it sounds awesome). But it inspires me and makes for a good example of how to create without analysing too much, and give yourself a chance to get the best of the both worlds (happiness and abundance).

I’m sure everyone has heard of those who hold themselves back, thinking they will pursue their dream only when they "have enough money", "settle down with their family", "random excuse X" and "random excuse Y".

I’ve done it myself, but no longer. And my attitude is why I can call upon so many miraculous resources that seem to just come into my life whenever I need it. All the decisions are the easiest decision to me.

The Easiest Decision

I ask: What is the best decision that would help yourself, others and the entire world at large at the same time?

Those who completely focus on a task, mad-scientist-style may suffer from lack of hygenic grooming, cleaning their faces or cutting their nails. Those who focus on their looks vainly may suffer from lack of creative output, seeing themselves in a cubicle. Those who only care about "the world at large" suffer from ineffectiveness, picking up every dirty bottle they see and yet being unable to pay their rent on time.

I’m not the kind of person who creates yet doesn’t put my content out into the world out of fear that it will succeed amazingly. Ever since I’ve changed my attitude to the this way of thinking, I’ve found that I’m a lot more zealous, youthful, expedient and abundant.

I try to write in a way that feels right. Look at what’s written in published books or top blogs. Everything is above "average". If you’ve read or watched something recently, it’s probably been fine tuned and looked over with a sharp eye.

That’s why, you should only do things when it feels right. When it feels right, there’s a different quality to it. When it feels right, it goes above and beyond other people’s above average. When you create things when it feels right, you bring to others that fine touch. It’s been said that God is in the details, and that’s true.

Anyone can grind out 7.5/10 books and articles. But in order to get that 10/10 out of your heart and into play? You have to trust your inner feeling. So do what feels right, enjoy your play, and create from what’s really in your heart.

Then share it.
