Sometimes it will just be nice to know where you are going in life. It could be quite relaxing to know that you are going to have smooth travelling for a while; it could be nice to prepare yourself if you are going to be heading down a bumpy road. But life is not like this. When you take a drive during the daylight you can see for miles and miles, where is the adventure? Sure it’s nice to take a road trip and look at everything around you, but life is not like driving in the daylight.

No, life is like driving at night, when its pitch black out and you cannot see 2 feet outside your side windows, and you can only see 150 feet in front of you. You may know where you want to end up, but you’re on a journey now there is nothing you can do to increase your vision, so just enjoy the ride!

One of the main things you will notice about travel is that you are, most of the time, moving forward. Every now and then you will head down a gravel road, or get stuck in a blizzard. The blizzard could get so bad that you may have to pull over until visibility gets a bit better. When this happens in life, make sure you pull over! Take some time out, and do not burn out! Every now and then when travelling you see a deer staring into your head lights standing in the middle of the road. As horrible as it is to say, the safest thing is to not swerve out the way, you need brace yourself and hit that deer. To many times people have swerved to avoid the deer and they and all the passengers do not make it. When this happens in life you need to make sure that you do what you can to make sure you keep your loved ones safe. Do whatever you can to protect them.
In life you will come across blizzards, and hazards, and gravel roads, just make sure you never put your vehicle into reverse and end up where you have just come from. Always look forward.

If you want to be a great achiever in life you need to focus extra hard on your success. You need great passengers in your car, and believe me, they are easy to find! I for one love going on entrepreneurial journeys with people and helping them reach their success, so if you can’t find anyone to travel with, just drop me an email! It is pivotal you surround yourself with likeminded success oriented people! It is important you start moving! Another great annotation I love is a sail ship cannot turn unless it is moving and has wind in its sails! So get moving, too many people decide one day when! When what? When you have time, money, help? Those are no longer valid excuses, the moment you say “one day when” you may as well forget about it, because that will probably never happen!

Take a stand! Start your journey today! Get the wind in your sails! Put your foot on the accelerator! Just DO something!

  1. Nicely done,

    I’ve always like the analogy of ‘life is like a highway’, yet this spin is refreshing.

    My view is very similar, Life IS like a ride and sometimes you’ve got to drive it like you stole it…

    Just buckle up, mash that pedal to the floor, and hang on for dear life cause the brakes went out a while back and there aint no lookin back now!

    Your new friend and student of life,

    Hi Mitchell,

    I love your analogy too. Thats great! And so true, it’s just one big adventure hey! Sad to see people not making the most of it!

  3. Rich,
    I love the article about Life’s Journey. The metaphor of driving at night is awesome! Sometimes, we have to grit our teeth and put the pedal to the metal! Whoowhooo…
