Are you a Driver or a Passenger in Life?

By
Education & Training with REALTOR & CEO The 3B Method Seminars

Are you the Driver

or

the Passenger

in your Life?

 

          It is your choice!

 

Are you oblivious to your destination?

You are a passenger.

Do you accept responsibility for the amount of speed in which you move ahead?

You are a Driver.

Do you sit and watch the direction in which you are going?

You are a Passenger.

Do you focus on the final destination?

 You are a Driver.

There is not a lot of space between the drivers seat and the passengers seat. The cloth or leather may even be the same but the seat you choose in life has a major difference in the outcome of your life!

The passenger in life will just follow along and go where driven.

The driver sets the course and is in control!

I think most REALTORS are drivers but for some reason in 2008 many chose to ride in the passenger seat! I am trying to change that!

Personally, if there are bumps in the road ahead I want to be able to steer around them. If there is a road block I want the ability to turn around and find a new direction. If there is something I want to see or do, I want the choice to stop and go and do.

If you want to relax in 2009 be a passenger and enjoy the ride. When you reach your final destination you have arrived and you may be present but you will not own the car or be in charge of the keys!

Choose to DRIVE!

Get your map ready!

                Outline the final destination!

                                Put the keys in place, start your life and DRIVE!

Great analogy on life. I'd like think I'm a driver but have to admit sometimes I feel like I'm hanging on a rope sticking out the back of the trunk while riding a skate board.

Hi Liz - I prefer to be a driver in life and take control of my direction and destination.  I have never felt comfortable just "going along for the ride."  I want to be behind the wheel and take charge of the travels in my life.  Thanks for your words of wisdom and inspiration.

Liz-I have to go back and read many of your posts...they rock!  Driver for me but there are occasions I like to be the passenger...you guessed it...in the car!  I drive a lot! :) Great thoughts.

Liz - I loved the analogy and the post.  Only the driver controls where he or she goes or wants to go.  Best chance of getting there is driving, not just taking the ride.
