Life is a constant motion forward
There is always a destination
From time to time there will be assholes that cut you off
Sometimes you have to stop suddenly
Change direction due to obstacles in your way
At times you will find yourself lost and asking for directions
People will often ride your ass
Frustrated when you find others holding you back
And the waiting seems endless
Often on automatic, forgetting how you arrived
There is always a tendancy to look toward the past
Often reminded to look forward as to where you are headed
It is key to always be both on the offensive and the defensive
And in moderation. ..aggressive
Accidents happen
Rules are broken and often times there are consequences
Sometimes things happen that are not in your control
But you are the only one that can control your reaction
There is always that urgency to get to the destination
But remember to enjoy the scenery
The overall experience
For it is your vehicle of life
That ultimately you drive.
