“The dream still burns … but the rest of us should take heart. The key here is the dream, rather than its realisation.”

“Schumachers 2010 return shows the dream still burns – but the rest of us ‘losers’ should take heart. The key here is the dream, rather than its realisation. It may not be explicable to us mere mortals, but the more I heard about this ‘Heaven on Earth’ called the Zone, the more I was convinced it is the true Holy Grail – not just for racing drivers, but for all human beings in whatever we do. Finding it often enough inevitably leads to ‘winning’ in earthly terms, but it only comes into reach, when you rid yourself of the obsession with the end result. The shortcut to the Zone is to join the wimps, forget about winning and revel in the beauty of playing the game.”

“The untapped potential in every human being is limitless: we are perfectly capable of producing all by ourselves, true magic.”

“We human beings like to give him names, whether that is Jesus or whatever else. But my view is that God is ONE, whether it is Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, almost anything, and that he is everywhere. He (or she) has (no gender), colour, no religion, no race, nothing. It’s incredible how close he is to you and to everybody. You just call him (her/It) and he’s there. That’s it, simple. And this is the reality we so often forget.”

This is one of my favourite thoughts and sums up my message, my “little” life…in trying in some small way to break down barriers between people.

“I had a good chance to meet a yogi who was so spiritual and happy all the time. I wondered how he managed his thinking and I learned a lot from him.

The BIG Question: What Does God Mean to YOU?

We human beings like to give him names, whether that is Jesus or whatever else.

“God is a mystery, a Creative Presence, the mystery, the Ultimate Source of Life, the Fountain of all Goodness, Who/That allows me to be who I really want to be and become.”

Senna knew winning isn’t everything

GOD AND FORMULA ONE: 'BEYOND THE ZONE'

Senna knew winning isn’t everything

From: http://www.grandprix.com/ft/ft22800.html

Senna loved winning too, of course: he was obsessed by it as
champions are. But what separates him is that he came to realise there was more
to life – and that is why people are making films about him today. He had the
visionary mystique to know in a world of plenty you do not have to have
‘have-nots’ to have ‘haves’.

His trainer Josef Leberer told me: “During my first
year with Ayrton we were driving through Sao Paulo when we saw a favela and I
asked how he felt when he saw these people. He said it was very hard for him
and it hurt a lot, but that you have to be powerful to effect any real change
and he was not there yet.

“He was already doing things for the children, even if
