Put Yourself in the Driver’s Seat

“There is a time when we must firmly choose the course

we will follow, or relentless drift of events

will make the decision for us.”

Herbert Prochnow 1897 – 1998, U.S. Banking Executive

 

As I see it . . . . . . .

Put yourself in the driver’s seat

 

There comes a time in your life that you have to make a choice. Do you follow the path of your choosing . . . . Or do you follow the path that someone chooses for you?

 

When you pick your own path you have . . . . a vested interest in the journey and destination.

 

You will also  make your own decisions . . . . and have the responsibility for the outcome. The journey may not be an easy one . . . . but you make the decision for the course you travel. You set your course . . . . and make the adjustment along the way to reach your destination.

 

There’s another choice that you can make . . .  That’s to let other people set the course for your life . . . . and to follow the path that they set for you.

 

One choice is to take control of your life . . . . and to give it direction the other is to drift through life.

 

Choose your own path . . . . and you will put yourself into the driver’s seat of your life.

Lou Ludwig  I  have always loved the driver's seat.  The challenge is to navigate the detours and bumps in the road.

We have so much to learn if we just have the confidence to pursue things, but having that confidence is the tricky part at least some of the time.

There is a philosophy that says we are always constantly choosing based on our persistent thoughts and to me, it's kind of obvious that most of us do that, myself included

Good morning Lou. Wish I could say that I was always in the drivers seat, but sometimes enjoy being a passenger.

Wise words, Lou.  And, when choosing the direction for one's life, I wouldn't rely on the GPS.
