You Are in the Driver’s Seat

You Are in The Driver's Seat

Have you heard the song; Life is a Highway by Rascal Flatts? The song says life is like a road that you travel. It's the same concept in life and it is true for each of us. What you may not realize is that you are in the driver's seat of your life. When you sit behind the wheel of a car, you are in charge of where it goes, what turns it will make and what speed you will use to get where you are going. It's your decision to choose a route that best suits you. You may want to enjoy the view by taking roads that are less traveled or your preference could be a shorter distance by engaging in bumper-to-bumper traffic. It doesn't matter, it's all a choice, your choice.

 How you navigate your life is up to you.

You are always the one in charge, and you choose which roads you'll travel by the decisions you make. When faced with situations that are not difficult it's like choosing a scenic highway with beautiful scenery, soft rolling hills, and light traffic; your trip is pleasant, and you enjoy the ride.

Some roads are paved with excitement. That might be the one that points you towards accomplishing a goal that you set for yourself, falling in love with your best friend, or watching your children and grandchildren grow up. Other surfaces can be rough and turbulent and unpleasant to travel. These would be the roads that lead to sickness, or the loss of a loved one or your favorite pet. It could also be the path that leaves you feeling less than kind to yourself and others following a divorce or a breakup.

Regardless of where you choose to go in life, you are in charge.

It is easy to get turned around when driving the highways that are cluttered with buildings and bargains clamoring for your attention. These are the times when we have a deadline or destination to meet, and we could not help but to give in to the distractions that we encounter along the way. That would be the job you really wanted and instead settled for the one that came along. It's also the same as thinking that the perfect partner for you will never show up down the road, so you take what is in front of you; not willing to risk what you cannot see or imagine being greater. This road will become narrow and hard to navigate, leading our heart to become troubled.

You are the one behind the wheel with every twist and turn your life makes, and it's you that drives yourself up the mountain of success or down into the valley when you are feeling low.

Our attitude is like the weather when traveling roads and highways. Some days everything is perfectly clear, other days there are clouds that hang overhead. You can choose to focus on the beauty of what you see as you are driving by, enjoying the little things that make you smile, or you can hit the potholes of life that swallow you up.

How you choose to see your situation will determine the quality of your drive. If you allow frustrations to get the best of you, your experience will be much of the same for the rest of the day. By taking time to be in the present moment, you allow for better experiences, richer opportunities, and a quiet sense of peace that your heart longs to feel. That means go with the flow. Allow whatever happens to happen. It also means to let go and detach from outcomes that are out of your control.

Wherever you choose to go, embrace the wheel with a grip knowing that you are going in the right direction. You have the freedom to decide which road you will travel.  Life is a highway, and you don't have to travel alone.

If you need help in finding the road you wish to travel, allow me to direct you by scheduling an energy reading or energy healing.

Much love and appreciation,
