As I was sitting in the passenger seat being driven down from Cornwall to Yorkshire, I gazed idly out of the window and starting watching the cars, lorries and vans making their way to wherever they were going. Yet another mid range car whizzes past in the outside lane at a fare old kilter, flashing its headlights, driving all over the back end of the car in front, trying to bully his (nothing against the male folk here, it just so happened to be one) way through. Then I noticed the ol’ “middle lane lodger” and remembered the previous night on the Yorkshire to Cornwall stint when I was driving, it was well into the early hours of the morning, not a soul on the road but us and still, there they were in the middle lane, so I had to over-take into the fast lane just to get back into the driving lane. I also noticed the scared/insecure/just passed my driving test type of driver, who seems stuck in the driving lane every now and again indicating to come out but always pulling back stopping themselves from making that outward manoeuvre forwards.

As the time rolled by I noticed something you get on the roads, that we all seem to pay no attention to, they never crop up in conversation, they never spark debate in the pub or over the dinner table and strangely it is around a 9:1 ratio in their favour. The good drivers. The ones that go at their own pace, never drive up peoples boot ends, if you indicate to pull out in front of them instead of closing up the gap, they flash you to come out as it is safe to do so. They keep a good safe distance away from you at all times. Pull over to the left lane if you seem to be approaching at a greater speed than they wish to traverse as they noticed you a while back and have been planning the manoeuvre.

Now at this point I thought to have a little inward look and review how I drive. You too, take a little moment and have a think about your attitude behind the wheel. Are you constantly in a temper watching boy racers taunting the dawdlers? Are you that boy racer careering up the boot end of the car in front always seeming to have a slow car in front of you? Do you constantly seem to have cars up the boot end of yours? Are you constantly pointing out to anyone who will listen the mistakes of all the other road users? Do you keep getting trapped behind the dozy sod in the middle lane? Most journeys, you envelope yourself in a little world where only you seem to have the ability to drive properly, everyone else seems to be an idiot.

Time to re-cap and re-evaluate things I thought. I watched my partner drive, never flustered, never angry, happily singing or chatting with me, keeping that safe distance, pulling over when someone wants to overtake. When the traffic grinds to a halt and there is a traffic jam for the next 20 miles, the music gets turned down and conversation is picked up a notch, jokes are told laughs are had. There is NEVER any stress in our car when he is at the wheel, we never seem to be in hurry and never arrive late. However, when I am at the wheel, worrying, stressing about the car up my boot end, annoyed at the way the other driver over there is treating the driver in front of him, pointing out the errors of their ways…… ahhhh! Now, here is the thing for many months now my partner has been teaching me, very patiently, about the Law of Attraction, how it works and how to get it to work for me. In this little moment of time it suddenly all became very clear, I was bringing ALL of this to me, focusing my attention on all the bad drivers on the road instead of just focusing on all the good drivers. Then like the sun shining through the clouds (like you get in the films when lassie comes home!) I got it.

So, I write this little diatribe and plead with you out there Mr, Mrs and Miss J Public, have a think next time you are behind the wheel, try to stay calm and happy and take note of the little differences that arise on your journey. Think on to the times you have made those incorrect decisions on the road, how grateful you felt when the driver you cut across etc signalled not to worry and smiled. Then think of how you felt when you had accidentally made the mistakes and got shouted at, “v” signs flicked etc., which did you prefer.

Ironically, all of life whether it be in a car or not, is not a race to the finish line it is a journey, so we all might as well enjoy it!

Go safe, be happy, enjoy.

We are about using our natural abilities to consciously create everything we desire in our lives. There is a scientifically proven and methodical system of creating not only the life-style and wealth that we all desire but also the health and happiness that go with it.

Living by design…not by default. Enjoy.
