For example, I was with a driver today who's been slower for a couple of reasons, but I chose to move quickly. It was not an "I'm afraid" motivation; it was quite different. I did it since I felt good doing it, and I told him a couple of times since he told me I was moving fast. I knew I could, and I wanted to do what I could rather than step down to another's low expectations of themself. I'd have sold out for his approval had I done that. I ran my speed; he ran his. I had no problems with that, and I felt productive today. It's a win-win in my book.
I’ve noticed that too. I wasn’t big on responsibility before, but now I actually like knowing that I had the control over my life all along even if I didn’t use it well. If I was in control and caused myself to be in a less than ideal situation, then I have the ability to make it better. We’re on the road to taking control over our lives.
