Warning!

I am here to help...do you see why I am WARNING you?...

Did you notice all of those yellow, diamond-shaped signs posted along your journey? They are talking to you. “Warning…WARNING!,” shout those yellow signs as you pass quickly by.  They want you to know there is a change in the road ahead. Will you heed their warning?

Did you brake yet?  Failure to heed a warning can be tragic.

As you travel through life, the language may vary from place to place or country to country. Understanding the language makes the journey easier, because it sure can get confusing when you can’t communicate.

And communication is a two-way street. If you are not understanding, there could be real trouble ahead.

The roadways have their own language. Think about what could happen if we do not understand what those signs, signals, and markings are saying. If we miss the message, if we ignore or do not process the information along our journey, not only could we be headed for disaster, but we also put everyone in our car and others sharing the road, at risk. And our job is not to create risk.

A Responsible Driver will take time to understand the language of the road and make it their mission to recognize and reduce risk.

Along our life’s journey, there will be plenty of warnings. Some are loud and others may be just a whisper. If we train our minds to hear and heed those warnings, we can save ourselves from plenty of painful trouble. And life is never “all about me, baby” because every choice we make can affect those with whom we share the journey. Enjoy your journey!
