Perspective!
So, todays video was about Perspective, and imagine my surprise when I uploaded it and discovered that there was no audio LOL. Talk about an exercise in perspective on my 3rd day of daily upshift videos :)
So, PERSPECTIVE… You don’t always get to choose what happens to you or around you, but you DO get to decide the perspective you take. You and I could experience the exact same scenario and take away and entirely different meaning from it. While I’m riding around, occasionally, someone may turn in front of me a bit close or something. Well, guess what? I chose to swing my leg over a motorcycle that is considerably smaller than anything else on the road and even if people are paying close attention, they could look at me and misjudge my speed and distance to them. It’s Science. For me to expend my energy getting mad at them and freaking out, takes my attention away from much more important things that I may miss, distracting myself with things like anger. I ride to enjoy my day and my mission when I ride is to be able to ride again tomorrow. So anything that I do that jeopardizes that mission is not executable in my world. I don’t judge people when they cut me off. Am I happy that they weren’t paying attention to their driving like they should have been, ABSOLUTELY NOT! However, I turn to me and ask, why did I put myself in a position that got me so close to an issue with them? What was distracting me from noticing them even sooner?
Don’t take this as people constantly do dangerous things that put me in danger all the time. In fact, It’s been years since I’ve been in an absolute danger spot where I had to emergency brake or else… People do move into my lane, turn late in front of me, etc, more frequently, but I choose to reward myself for noticing these things and not ending up in those emergent predicaments.
PERSPECTIVE IS EVERYTHING, SO MAKE SURE YOUR’S SERVES YOU!
