Even though I have cruise
control in the truck, I do not use it that often. I’ve found I get complacent and distracted
when I use it. It’s called highway
hypnosis. Being in control of a 6,000-pound
object moving at 75 mph is certainly not the time to be distracted.
It’s sometimes easy to go
through life on cruise control. We get
used to things happening in a certain way, become complacent, and then distracted
from life. One of the most common
occurrences of being on cruise control/distracted is people texting then
walking out in front of a car. They are
so in the texting zone on cruise control that they do not pay attention to
everything happening around them. The
next thing ya know pesky physics comes into play and they’re dead on the road. Car beats pedestrian 100% of the time.
The line between being
comfortable and complacent is very fine.
If you find yourself wondering off into lala land more than being engaged
in what’s happening in your life, that’s a sure fire sign to Wake Up.
