Perhaps it is due to my return to the road...
Perhaps it is due to my ignorance of the road...
Perhaps it is due to my avoidance of the road...
Perhaps it is because of what I see...
Perhaps it is because of what I feel...
Perhaps it is because of what I hear...
But LIFE... It is like DRIVING...
Think about it...
How do we approach the issue of life? Our mindset as we enter the car totally affects how we drive... As we turn the keys and run the ignition, as we rev up the engine and check the car's condition... How we feel about the drive, what is on our minds... It all affects our day's performance...
The car is just a tool... An instrument to push us forward, a machine, if I may say so...
Our goal in LIFE? That's our destination...
As we live our lives, we move forward, thanks to a little help from our vehicle...
But... Once in a while, we do have to move backwards... So why do we get upset? All it does is put our car back in a correct position, and so we can move forward again...
Why the mirrors? Why do we look back? Look at it this way... Only by looking back can we truly move forward... Learning from mistakes, looking at them when we face similar situations in the future...
But why do we stop? The red lights in LIFE, the stop signs? Know that people's lives do cross... Our paths cross, some end up going the same way, others turn away... But only when we stop and give in to others can they move forward toward their destination... Why? Because we all want that...
When we rush too much in LIFE, we might crash into others... But what happens then? We end up even later at the place we want to be...
Sometimes, our engine fails... It is a reminder that in everything that we do, we must always remember to take care of the things that matter to us...
In darkness, the headlamps lead us, they shine and guide us, so that we can safely reach our destination...
Our seatbelts, they are the things that keep us in place, our safety nets in trials...
Our will to continue driving? Should we meet with an accident, or should we experience near misses, will our will to drive be affected? Things like that happen... But if we give up, we will never reach our destination... In the same way, if we keep harping on past mistakes, then congrats my friend, you've just won yourself a ticket to another accident...
But one day, when we finally reach our destination...
It'll be worth the ride...
Oh and one more thing...
It's always nice to ride with the people who can guide you...
The people who can lead you...
And the people who care for you...
The people who love you enough to push you forward, and to never let you give up...
I thank God for these people, whom God sends to me daily (Yup! That includes you, you and... YOU!!!)
KEEP ON DRIVING!!! (Oh and a special ALL THE BEST to Cass for her driving test 2mrw!!! Jia You!!!) xD

Wow!!! nice post!! I like the way you demonstrate life as driving on the road!!!
Sometimes, my car seems to come into a halt. no matter how hard I try, it will not move forward....But, I shall think positively. Maybe God wants to give me a break coz I constantly "drive".
