Having sold the ’66 GMC and knowing that the Honda will be under new ownership on the 15th, I found myself in a situation where I should be looking for another vehicle. Actually, it would be more correct to say that I “put” myself in a situation where I should look for another vehicle (otherwise I’ll be driving the ’58 Chevy everyday) – not so much that I somehow unexpectedly “found” myself in some predicament.

It’s an old habit and a self-motivation trick to create a situation for oneself that can’t backed out of. Some proponents of this philosophy take it to the extreme of burning all bridges behind themselves so they theoretically have to continually move forward, but I don’t think that’s necessary or  even prudent as a practice and I definitely question an individual’s value system if their idea of progress or success necessitates ending every relationship that isn’t immediately self-beneficial.

Everyone has a different personality and many are even quite content with “routine”; but for me, I am at my best when in a situation that either requires stretching into new territory or one where I have to focus on a particular goal. I really love a new challenge, but when there isn’t one to be found, I’ll go for the “focus” thing.

Flying is really good for grabbing my full attention with its simultaneous mental  & physical workouts…  maybe I should’ve been an Air Traffic Controller
