Driving and life

Warning: objects in review mirror become smaller as you drive further away. In life, things tend to become larger as you approach them, that's just physics and optical illusions. There is no point in making them bigger than what they really are, because in the end, they shrink as you past them by. That being said, good luck to all who have something big coming up

Ever noticed how when you are driving, you tend to miss a lot of the scenery that is flashing by? Life is kind of like that, you may be driven to go somewhere, but don't be so gung-ho on getting "there, that you forget to enjoy the drive. Slow down a bit, and look around you. Heck, stop once in a while to breath in the fact that you are on the open road. Everyone can drive from A to B and back; but it is the one who dares to take a detour, stopped randomly along the way, walk around to sightsee who may have a tale or two to tell.

Remember, nothing gets you back on your feet and walking again faster than a broken down vehicle. While it may seem inconvenient, I have learned not having a vehicle can be most liberating experience. From walking, comes time to contemplate, moments to observe.
