lessons learned from jaywalking

Maybe it’s from the book I’ve been reading lately, but my inner motivational speaker has been very active recently.

I returned my rental car today and took the subway back home. Now, there are 2 stops near my apartment I can get off at…one is a little further away but has more stuff near it. I decided to get off at that stop because I had talked myself into getting a bagel with cream cheese (delicious!) earlier that morning.

There’s a Dunkin Donuts directly across the street from the station, and an intersection about 30 yards on either side where I could cross the street…or I could just cut across the middle of the road and dodge traffic. So I first went to head to the crosswalk but made an abrupt turn when my little motivational speaker popped up to use this as an analogy for me:

You could do what everyone else does, or take a little risk, make your own way, and get what you want.

Now, I don’t advocate jaywalking, of course. But Im just sayin…sometimes it’s quicker to make your own path.
