Stop Driving Like A Dick And You’ll Boost Your Energy
How many times have you pushed your luck when driving?
Really pushed it, you’re in your home area, the familiar stress you drive around daily
Pushing the limit a little because you know where the speed cameras are, you know where the cops usually sit on the side ready to catch you
You know it like the back of your hand so you push it every single day
You know which lights you can get away with going through when they’re turning from amber to red, you know where the cameras are all located if you miss the lights
You know the speed limits and you know you can get away with it
Then you’re driving down the highway and something changes
Blue lights are flashing, you hear the sirens, suddenly you get a bit of anxiety
You think they’ve seen you, slow down a little, make sure the phone is in the glove box
You make sure you aren’t jumping the lights
Your seatbelt is fastened and you know you aren’t violating any traffic laws this moment, but did they see you before?
You start to wonder if they caught you changing the track on your phone
You start to wonder if they were hiding then you were doing 35 in a 30, 45 in a 40
They’re after you, second after second getting closer and closer
You’re ready to pull over and start to apologise
You know you’ll get points, a fine, maybe worse, you cannot lose your license
Then they’re right behind you, you stop
What will you tell the Mrs?
They go past
Relieved is an understatement, you pull off again and everything is in check
To the exact speed limit
No phone in sight
Seatbelt fastened
Super cautious at the lights
This lasts for 10 minutes
Then, you’re back to driving like a dick
And THIS is the problem with how you treat your health
You hustle along thinking you won’t break, pushing your luck
But suddenly you actually do get pulled over, have to take time off work, lose a lot of money and are hit hard
If you only focused on NOT driving like a dick with your health in the first place
If you only paid attention when you could
Imagine where you would actually be now…
