Stay In Your Lane

I drove nearly 1,000 miles on US interstates this weekend and realized something simple. Once you depart, there are a lot of distractions between you and your destination.

• What (or who) do I listen to?

• Which route do I take?

• When should I fuel up? When should I speed up? When should I slow down?

• Where is the best place to stop for an energy boost or recalibrate my goals?

• How do I protect myself and my loved ones from all the other crazy people out there driving to their desired destination?

Regardless of where you're headed in the new year, you'd better stay focused on the lane you're in. There's a lot of stuff out on "the road" you can't control, so buckle up and drive safely.
