Just occasionally something happens that provides an immediate opportunity for a podcast theme, and this week was one of those occasions.  I very nearly lost my life to a crazy driver fleeing a robbery in a van and, although the car I was driving was written off in the collision, miraculously I walked away totally uninjured!

The consequent theme for this episode is "luck"!  We all need it, more often than we realise and, in my experience, it plays a role in almost everything that happens in life.  In this episode I not only talk about my experience this week, but also consider the different reactions people have to difficult situations and near disasters.  

I hope that by sharing my own experience in some detail, I provide some useful thoughts for everyone as, either directly or indirectly, we all inevitably encounter these challenges during our lives.  I consequently believe that having some level of preparatory thinking as to how to deal with them can only be helpful.

WARNING: The video version of this episode includes showing some shocking in-car camera footage of the collision that occurred, which reveals very starkly how lucky I was to come out unscathed. It is, however, very dramatic and hence my caution note here!
