I Do - The Arena of Accomplishment
As we close this series, it is important to remember that these phases are all constantly rotating through different areas of our lives. In some areas we will be in the values formulating arena, others the dedication arena. And of course we will at times be in the accomplishment arena. It comes when the job is complete. What is important at this stage? Well, a few things actually.
1. A little rest. Notice I said a "little." It isn't time to sit back for good, but resting can be a much-needed reward for all of the hard work you have shown up until now. After the pace of pursuing your dreams Ed Oliver Bills Jersey , your body and mind need some well- deserved rest.
2. A little celebration. Celebrations are great for us. What is all the work for if one can't enjoy the fruit of his labor? Maybe it is a small dinner out. Maybe it is a huge celebration like a party for a hundred of your closest friends and business associates. Maybe it is an exotic vacation?
3. A sense of fulfillment. The greatest reward is, as the old saying goes, "the satisfaction of a job well done." Not many people make it to the accomplishment arena very often. Enjoy the satisfaction!
4. A new high bar. One of the great things about life is the challenge of new heights. You have accomplished your task, and that's good, but...
Sometimes it is difficult for us to admit when we aren't the greatest at driving. For many of us, we often think that our driving is pretty decent. After all, we did well enough to pass that driving test all of those years ago, right? Wrong. Even if you managed to squeak by in your road test, the true test of your driving acumen comes about when you have to drive with someone else as your passenger in your vehicle. I found this out the hard way when I had to make a road trip to visit my grandmother a couple of hours away from where I live.
Normally Tre'Davious White Bills Jersey , when I have to drive somewhere, I usually travel alone and am the one doing the driving. However, on one trip that I made to visit my grandmother, my aunt happened to be the one behind the wheel. Under any other circumstances, my aunt is an extremely responsible person. But after only spending fifteen or so minutes with her in her her driving Tremaine Edmunds Bills Jersey , I realized that there were some things that I did not know about my aunt. For starters, she was not the greatest driver in the world. Ok, her driving was horrible; and the two hours and forty-five minutes that it usually takes to get to my grandmother's house from where we live was perhaps the longest two hours and forty-five minutes of my life. Why? My aunt apparently has a severe tailgating problem. As we were careening down the highway at almost eighty miles per hour, we were also following another car that was in front of us so closely that I could have stepped from the hood of her car to the trunk of the car in front.
After approximately thirty minutes of this kind of driving, I was actually forced to shut my eyes so that I wouldn't be nearly as afraid for my life. Think about it. At approximately eighty miles per hour Josh Allen Bills Jersey , if someone was traveling that fast on a highway while tailgating the person in front of them,w hat do you think would happen if the person in front suddenly stopped short? Would you survive? Even if you slammed on your brakes and managed to switch lanes at the last minute, you would be lucky not to do serious damage to your vehicle or other vehicles around you. Similarly, there are times when you slam on your brakes and the first thing that your car or vehicle does is skid. What kind of control would you have then? What if the road you were traveling on was located on a mountainside or had the possibility of some sort of drop off point if you weren't careful?
The point of all of this was that her driving was edibly dangerous. When this is the case and you are driving with someone (especially someone you know), and their driving makes you nervous; are you within your rights to say something to them about their driving habits and how it is making you feel? Would this make the driver even more distracted? If you truly feel uncomfortable with someone's driving Jim Kelly Bills Jersey , you need to be careful with how you word your concern so that you don't offend the person you are traveling with.
