5 Signs That You On A Collision Course With Life

 Are you a smooth operator or a stunt driver in your life journey? Are you aware that you are the driver on the most important trip you will ever make? Turn right, left, stay the course or turn around, these are all significant choices you make on this trip, each one affecting the quality and arrival at your chosen destination. Are you on track for a safe arrival or on a collision course that will ensure a crash that leaves you in pain and always searching for a solution? Just like on the highways you travel each day; there are warning signs that help you to avoid a crash.

1.) Are you always looking in the rear view mirror? This means you sincerely believe the best you can become and the best years of your life are behind you. Pay attention to your conversations, do you frequently refer to things that happened in the past? Do you spend time wishing you were back in an old job or relationship? You cannot see a safe exit or opportunity when you navigate your journey looking backwards. You are stuck in a place that is fading rapidly as you journey forward. Worse, you are destined to crash when your attention is that diverted. The windshield provides a wide and expansive allowing you to see what lies before you.

2.) Is it difficult for you to accept responsibility for your actions? If you refuse to acknowledge the part you have played in the outcome of things that end less than acceptably, you have traded the opportunity to receive credit when they are as good as or better than you hoped. Evading responsibility forces you to evade everything, including the lessons that pave the way for something wonderful in your future.

3.) Do you prefer to tell a 'little white lie' because you don't have the courage to be honest? This path is fraught with peril. The biggest loss is your own credibility. When you do decide to bite the bullet and spill the truth, no one is listening. The people around you have grown accustomed to your evasions and untruths; you're the loser in this one.

4.) Are you afraid to lose? If you always have to win, regardless of your methods, people avoid becoming involved with you in any meaningful venture. The end never justifies the means. It is the means that you will always be accountable for.

5.) Are you fixated on your personal or outer appearances? This is a reflection of a person who is insecure and requires 'window dressing' to have value as a person. When you need stage props like the perfect hair, clothes, car or home to create an image, you are looking at your world through the eyes of your perception of other people's opinions. This is akin to asking the person in another lane to allow you to follow them to your destination without knowing where they are going.

Are you a good driver?
