Morning Motivator - A Lesson from Driving at Night

"Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step."
- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Have you ever really thought about night driving and the PERIL it poses to travelers? Consider this. You drive at night with a VISION capability of only 100 to 200 feet of narrow, FOCUSED light in front of you. You are unable to see the road miles away, nor any of the potential dangers to the right and left of you.

Interestingly, you could get in your vehicle tonight and drive to San Diego, with limited VISION, and still make it there. How so? You can't see the end goal? You do not know if the road TURNS left or right 3 miles away.

The road serves a SIMILAR route as your life. One of twists and turns, bumps and dangers that you will not be able to see before you. You will NEVER know what is going to occur 5 years from now, 5 weeks from now or even 5 minutes from now. What you CAN do is - take ACTION to GUIDE yourself properly into the darkness of uncertainty!

2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
Ready yourself DAILY by taking a few moments to prepare for the road ahead. You may not be able to forecast the future, however you can prepare in a manner that allows you to be ready for the COMMON pitfalls you will encounter (traffic, computer problems, personality conflicts, etc).

By LEVERAGING your intelligence to help offset the "X factors" of your day, you can keep a POSITIVE, forward moving attitude and drive more effectively towards YOUR success. Make today count... and keep your eyes on the road.

Cheers,
Zach
