Driving In Traffic So Like Life

Someone once told me that traffic flows are efficient because everyone chooses their own way of getting to their destination. Those who have been in countries where people try to control traffic know this to be true especially if they have been stuck in a round-about trying to get out while a traffic police officer is watching. Here are some lessons that traffic can teach us about life.
Traffic vs Life
  • We do not rely on the person next to us to figure out where we are going 
  • We determine where we are going before we start
  • Some of us stick to the same lane while others go in and out of the lane just like all our life journeys are different
  • We may get caught in the momentary thrill of racing the person next to us but we must find our way back to our original plan to get to our destination
  • Only the driver can determine the proper pace to get them to their destination
  • How you respond on the road will determine if you will get to your destination
  • You determine the means of getting to your destination
You are on the driver's seat of your life, determine your destination and go in the direction of your dreams. The next time you are driving, ask yourself, who is on your driver's seat?
