So I recently got my first car, an SUV that uses Sams Club gas. (Which is the longest lasting gas you can buy by the way) I recently fell in love with taking trips and just driving long distances and I started to realize that life, really is a lot like driving. Here's Why.
(*)When you're driving, you MUST concentrate on your own lane. If you do, you'll be able to adjust to the twists and turns that life throws at you. If you're too focused on anything else, well, that monthly income is going to take a great decline.
(*) So what if the guy has a Lotus and you have a 97 Ford Escort? What matters, is that you're getting to your destination. Some people are just blessed to get glamourous things from the jump. But who cares!? While you're going to a meeting that could potentially open many doors for you, he could be going to the corner store to get cigaretts. (EWW!)
(*) Okay, so your boy is basically in a formula 1 car getting to Austin 6x faster than you. Fine, some say people who rush for things run out of gas first. I know its hard to be patient in today's world, but things that people take their time on usually last longer. While he's on the side of the road having to change tires, put gas back into the tank, and get his GPS to find where he's at because he wasn't paying attention, you're getting to your destination safely and soundly. (And you were able to listen Ha-Style's Mixtape)
(*) Finally, I want to leave you with this quote. I'm a BIG fan of The Carter II. Wayne has this quote at the end of the album that says "life ain't nothin but a long extended road. Keep drivin. I done passed up plenty people on the side of the road, no help, keep goin. yeah, lost a lot of passengers on the ride, kept goin. yup, who knows when I run out of gas. Yeeah."
Fill that tank with happiness and use your dream as the GPS.
See ya at the top.
