She checks out the Honda’s dirt bike assigned to her in the finale. She looked up toward the sky with mixed feelings of excitement and nervousness and said, “oh! Dude. ”
She was never into bikes and has only ridden a few of them a few times, and an ATV once.
I never thought I would be riding a dirt bike for the finale.
She has come a long way and now there is no looking back. For her, it is a do-or-die situation now.
This last round demands that she leave her comfort zone and do something she has never done before.
While she was catching up with the situation and prepping herself for it, outside noises interrupted her thoughts.
She comes out of her tent and sees many people standing behind the barricade of the race track. All of them were shouting “You go girl/boy,” “We are so proud of you,” “We knew you would make it,” “Bavo,” and “congratulations” for everyone.
Wow, who are these people! I love them! She felt grateful for their presence. Well, yes, reaching the finale is a big thing in itself. She takes a bow and waves at them.
Now more than ever, she is anxious and uncomfortable because she won’t get any briefing.
She could only see a few bikes arranged in a weird pattern as hurdles at the beginning of the race track. However, she doesn’t know what to expect next as the rest of the track is blocked with a big opaque wall. So right now, all she knows is that she will know when the race begins.
Well, she is taking it all very calmly. Nothing seems to faze her. She is only a tad concerned about not knowing what lies ahead. Earlier in such situations, she had this tendency of controlling situations. However, previous rounds have taught her the art of letting go. It would be interesting to see if she could practice the same today.
The finale would test her at every level to make sure she is ready for what’s next.
Players are ready and waiting for the race to begin at the starting line.
The finale would test her at every level to make sure she is ready for what’s next!

This whole situation is making her restless, anxious, and impatient.
So, she leaves others with her bike and goes off the track to cool down as the track is still getting ready.
She wonders why they are taking so long to commence? For what are we waiting?
Everybody could sense the rising tension in players.
She returns back to the starting line to join others to find someone else has taken her spot.
She approached him, one thing led to another, and they got into an argument.
For some reason, these two forgot that they are not competing, and the spot doesn’t matter here.
Meanwhile, the race starter looks at his watch. It is time. He blows the whistle.
“Oh no!” she said as she realizes the race has begun.
She left the argument and ran to her bike. She could not believe the timing. She started her bike, but she could not let go of the stress of the argument. She did not expect her to lose self-control like this. It completely disturbed her and she did not get time to pull herself together before the race.
With so much inner conflict, it got difficult for her to focus. Finally, irrational thoughts and fear of failure overpowered her. As a result, she lost control and fell.
As she fell, she understood everything.
She wakes up shockingly to the sound of her alarm!
“Thank God!” she said with a sigh of relief.
She quickly grabbed her pen and notebook to write notes to herself before she forgot them. She always does this.
- Engaging in a conflict leads to non-beneficial use of energy, and it disrupts the flow. It is better to practice the art of letting go. Otherwise, it can trap one in the head and influence behavior, adversely impacting the journey.
- Avoid conflict not because something terrible will happen. Avoid conflict because this energy disruption can create an inner conflict when laser focus is needed.
- Avoiding conflict would look like a logical step when love for self and journey is the priority.
- You don’t need to prove anything to anyone. Your goal is more important than your ego. So always think before picking up battles.
“Thank you,” she said in a low-pitched voice as she finished journaling.
