Not sure if you saw the follow up on "Amygdala Hijack" but yes it happens to the best of us. Surrender & humor are indeed great companions. Rachel:

Thanks for your humor and honesty. I often wonder how to diffuse that overreaction response that quickly sends one downhill. Seems like letting go is the answer most often for me. Letting go of what I think should happen, shouldn't have happened, may not be able to happen after this unfortunate "incident". In the end, surrender mixed with humor seems like the only life giving response to all the curve-balls of life. I will keep working on this and hope I can put it into practice more often. Keep up the open heart and generous spirit of your blogs! Jeff, you are a fantastic storyteller! Thanks for your humor and honesty.

I also bet the rest of us have both been HIM and YOU at different times. I myself am proud to say I've probably been BOTH at the SAME time...OUCH! Great Article. Shows the importance of getting a daily vision for success and sticking to it. Easy to say...thrilling to do! @ Jeff – I bet it wasn’t the first time the elder gentleman offered unsolicited advice 10 seconds AFTER it was too late.

Great Article. Shows the importance of getting a daily vision for success and sticking to it. Easy to say…thrilling to do!

Looking at the road directly in front of you will result in slow lap times, if not a full-out off-track excursion... or worse.

And naturally, to disagree somewhat obliquely from the first post: Practice does not necessarily make Perfect, but Practice definitely makes permanent. Thanks for the piece, and the notice that it was here.
