I was driving along today trying to look every other driver in the eyes to get at some part of their being. As I drove along and looked, I discovered that almost every person looked miserable.
When you're doing something as simple as driving, try to get the most out of it. Count your blessings and the fact that you even have a car. Think about where you're going and why it matters to you. If you're in a rush, don't be - just relax and explain to the person (or group) why you were late. Improve on it next time so you don't have to explain yourself in the future. A life spend explaining oneself is a life spent lying, a life nobody desires.
Kick back, relax, and throw on your favorite music. If the radio isn't doing it for you or you don't have your favorite cd, turn off the music for once and enjoy the simple, beautiful silence. Roll down your windows and bask in the sun, or, if its winter, appreciate the harsh cold for what it is - a reminder of what it means to be alive, with cold, brisk air running through your nostrils and into your lungs, powering the incredible, wonderful machine that is you and your body.
Taking the time to appreciate small actions and habits like this make you realize how rich with possibility life is. Pay attention to every detail, every moment, every thought, and you will have felt and loved for an eternity on this beautiful earth.
