Principle of perspective

Have you ever ridden a ski trail through the forest? Or maybe tried to run an obstacle course at a stadium? If not, you have at least seen how others do it, maybe online. And if you look closely, you can't help but wonder: how do they make decisions so quickly?

A skier or runner makes dozens, if not hundreds, of decisions in fractions of a second about how to overcome obstacles. But what would a novice do in such a situation?

Driving along a ski trail full of trees and hills, an ordinary person will think only one thing: "just don't crash into a tree." But in the end, they will still crash. An experienced skier will think about something else: "where is the path?"

The difference is in the focus of attention. If a person is focused on the path they must take, they do not notice obstacles. They only look at the trail and move along it, ignoring everything around them.

But a person who concentrates on obstacles misses the road. And because they think too much about how to avoid potential problems, they eventually crash into a tree.

This is the principle of how your thinking works. It is also the principle of perspective - how you view things. What you focus on is what you get. And it works not only in sports but also in other aspects of life.

If you focus on obstacles, you will get obstacles. But if your focus is on the path, you will get the path. You decide for yourself through which prism to perceive life.
