Shiftin' Gears

Every day when I left work at RBS, i would tell my friend Gavin, "Look both ways". His typical response would be "Always lad, always". We joked about this end of day ritual from time to time. People even mocked us pursuing this exchange like a sports superstition. But one day I thought about it on the way home. Lookin' Both Ways is a good motto to live by.

Pretty often we get tunnel vision. Like Christiano Ronaldo trying to score a goal, or Miss. State shoot three pointers. This can be problematic. We need to look both ways to see what's coming. I wish I would have applied this personally when I got t-boned leaving church, in a 3 week old car. EEEEESSSSSHHHH.

It also applies to hearing both sides of the story. I try not to take sides on family opinions, disputes among friends (unless sports related), or the big picture issues that people sqwabble over daily... until I look at it from both ways.

Not every blog post will be deep and reflective. I just wanted to explain my title and give you somethin to chew on.
