"Road to success is not easy"
"Life is a journey"

We often come across by these quotes, but just imagine what it would like if your life would have been a car. Weird? Probably not for me because I do believe life is a journey and time is our road, but I never gave it a thought unless I started learning driving and gradually started relating each maneuver techniques with driving our own life on the road of our journey. 

Read further for getting a better picture.

1. Focus 

What is the most important thing when you drive on road? You need to focus straight ahead, you just can't act like a passenger looking all around but straight. You ought to be very careful to avoid any mishap on road or in your life, because you are the driver of your car, no one else. In order to achieve this, you need to be focus, you should know where to reach in either of the journeys.

2. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst

Who doesn't like to drive on a smooth road, but you don't always get a smooth road to drive? You will find bumpy road, sometimes gravel road, hairpin loop road, traffic road, slippery roads. But, you are a safe and smart driver, you have control on your car and similarly on your life, and these roads or challenges in life will eventually make you stronger and fearless in driving on any type of roads.

You have to be just aware of when to put brake on a bad road, a smart move to avoid bumpy road, alternate route if closed road ahead, kick starting on a bad traffic, because believe me it's not about the road it's about how you are driving your car on that very road or your life in that very challenging situation

3. Don't overseeing your past

As I said before, you have to focus ahead  and not behind you. Looking behind should only be a lesson to move ahead by letting go the troubles which might lead you to an accident. Try to read between the lines and you will get what I wrote.

4. GPS

Sometimes we are lost, not in aim but the route to reach the destination. There are 10 more roads to that same destination, but you need to switch on your GPS at that crucial time to know which path to chose. Your GPS is your intuition, because eventually we always know what needs to be done. Who knows, you might come across to some beautiful road which you might never be able to see if not got lost, So sometimes getting lost is good in a way, that you are courageous enough to try something new. GPS is also your support system or the help you get from your family and friends. So try to make your GPS circuit strong by your way.

5. Fuel

All work and no play not only makes Jack's life dull and boring but yours too. So stop driving, pull over, give for servicing, fuel-in, take a deep breath, go for vacation, motivate yourself, take a break, relax, eat healthy and then start driving, you will enjoy driving again.

So, these are some major lessons I learned while learning driving our car. I also feel you might have your own interpretation to some maneuvers, which I would love to hear back. So, don't forget to leave your comments below.

    Hope you are aware of the new Australian rule about touching the phone while driving. So take decisions in life with utmost care and having foresight of future to avoid any predictable unaccepted situation.

    I have a weird history with driving. I used to drive a car. Then I had an accident. Now I don't want to drive as I don't want to hurt the car and people in it. Not me! Thank God, for someone as weird as me, I still don't have Canadian license. Your analogies are beautiful and thought-provoking. I love the GPS one.
