Life is Like a Taxi

Motivational Power Quote

 

Life is Like a Taxi

 

"Life is like a taxi,

the meter keeps ticking

whether you're getting

somewhere or standing still."

Lou Ericson

  

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Life is like a taxi.  

The moments of our life is ticking away.  

The moments move at the same pace if we are working or relaxing.   

Our moments pass the same if we're productive or wasting time.  

There are no differences in how fast our moments are use if we are happy or unhappy.  

The moment we are born our meter start to run, it becomes our choice on how we want our moments to pass.  

We can invest our moments or we can waste our moments.   

Choose to invest your moments today and they will be use build your future.

Lou,

I really like this - the meter is running. Excellent analogy - and you don't always get a tip. :)

Lou, the older I get the more I notice that my taxi is speeding up.  Time just seems to fly by.  I'm making the most of it but dang it is speeding up.

Lou: Thanks for the motivation . Life does just keep moving no matter what is going on in our life. Even when we think it should just stop.

Life is a journey- mode of transportation..optional!  But you are so right about the meter ticking regardless of whether we are in idle or in motion...keep moving forward!

Hi Steve

The meter is run when not matter what direction we're moving, we need to keep ourselves on course.

Good luck and success.

Great analogy with the taxi - and you can't get your money back if you're not satisfied!

I wonder if/how people will remember ride-sharing(like Uber) in years ahead.
