Driving Seat
We all start life in different places but it is up to us to take us where we want to go. Each of us can decide on the destination and each of us can get there following some of the simple, practical and most definitely life changing strategies in this book.
We are each in charge of our own lives and have the ability to make choices. We can each do things that can build positively towards our future or alternatively do things that will hinder our future. Too many of us sit back and let life pass us by. I am somebody who hates to be still and sitting around, I always have to be active physically or mentally. I have to always be on the go. My wife is constantly saying, Mike come and sit down. Mike, why do you not just sit still for two minutes and relax. Unfortunately I am always dreaming and wanting to implement things to develop my future as a teacher or a leader.
We choose when we want to go and when we want to stop. We choose when we want to go fast and when we want to go slow. When we go too fast for too long our energy/petrol runs out very quickly. When we drive to slow and make incorrect decisions it slows us down on our journey. When we arrive at cross roads we to choose which direction we are going to go. Mary Ash2 says “for every failure there is an alternative course of action. You just have to find it. When you become to a road block you need to find a detour.”
If we choose the wrong direction it may have drastic consequences. If we choose the wrong direction and go too far it can seem pointless to turn around. It may take a long time to cut back a cross and change direction. We may choose just to stick in that direction and change our destination. Life is a bit like that.
You are the Driver
We are each in control of our own lives and we are the only person who can choose what we are going to do with our life. We have one shot at life and we need to make it count. You cannot blame anyone else for our life not to be a success. We have to sometimes let go of things and other times grab hold of things. We are the only person who is going to get us from A to B. So it is important that we start driving. If we never chose to start driving we will never start moving.
We have to make the decision to turn the engine on and put the car into gear. In our lives we are the only person who can make that initial effort to get the momentum building. Sometimes it can be difficult to get us to start the car rolling and we will also come across difficult choices in life. We need to understand we are the only one who can make that choice and decide to chase after our dreams with everything we got. To accomplish our dreams we must react positively, create a plan and believe we can do it.
