Greetings Happy People,
I live in the city of Las Vegas, Nevada.
This city is not only known for the amazing casinos and the
glimmering lights, but also for the interesting traffic.
In some areas of the valley, you see plenty of bustling
freeways with all types of vehicles moving from one end of town to the other.
Some go blinding fast while others go at a snail’s pace. Add some side landmarks
and you got an even more interesting ride. There are many important landmarks on
the Las Vegas highways. Some are as beautiful as the desert artwork on the
walls. Others are not as beautiful as those orange cones and drums. But for me, the most
important landmark is the speed limit sign.
Why the speed limit sign? It tells the driver how fast they
can go on certain roads. Unfortunately, some Las Vegas drivers have
misinterpret the definition of “limit.” On any given day in this city, you have drivers going 30-40 miles an hour over the speed limit. In the same
breath, you have other drivers going 20 miles under the speed limit on the far left
lane of traffic.
If these folks don’t know how fast they’re supposed to go,
they can get in lots of trouble. The consequences can range from a traffic
ticket to a thirteen car pile up. Either way, it is not fun to receive this type
of punishment.
Instead of freeways, what if we put this logic to what we do
in our daily lives? Instead of driving from the Las Vegas strip to Hoover Dam,
why don’t we see this as going from start to finish on an assignment?
One of my problems involves completing a goal. Many times, I
go too fast. Few times, I go too slow. Either way, I have to learn how to manage
and control my speed.
If I were to go too fast on things, it can create haste. I
may get there first, but there are some things that can be overlooked. At
this point, I need to STOP, REVIEW, and THINK about any moves I need to make
before I reach my goal.
If I were to go too slow on things, it can create waste. I
may take my time, but there are some things that causes me to impede things.
Whether it is by fear, procrastination, complacency, or any other obstruction,
it can create a waste of time for me and anyone else that is involved. At this
point, I need to just KEEP GOING and STAY FOCUSED on the task at hand.
When it comes to those goals and deadlines in my life, it
doesn’t hurt to have a few speed limit signs along the way. These signs are
helpful for me to maintain that good running speed so I do not go over board or under arrest.
It is okay to have some speed limits in your journey. If we
don’t have them, how fast could we get from one point to the other?
Knowing how
fast to go prevents us from getting into any unnecessary accidents.
Knowing how
fast to go establishes our credibility as very good drivers.
Knowing how fast to
go makes us better prepared for any road that lies ahead of us.
Once we are able to know our speed limits, we will be able to
have a better drive on the directions we choose to take. All it takes is us to
understand where we want to go and how fast we want to get there.
That is all I have for now. Take care and thank you for your
time and attention.
Sincerely,
Jesse I-I-I
