Different Perspective

Open the car door, climb into that comfort zone known as the driver's seat. Kinda fits your bum nice, doesn't it? All the mirrors are set up at just the right spot, the peddles are in that spot you know they should be. Sure is comfortable. Take someone you know for a drive around the block. While you are driving it handles how you know it will. Everything is right in the world.

NOW STOP!

Get out and get in the back seat (passenger side) ask your friend to drive the same route. You are still in the same car on the same roads but it is not the same feeling. You are not in your comfort zone. When you get back to your drive way nothing was different except your perspective.

Just because you were not doing it the way you always do it does not mean the same results could not be attained.

Sometimes you need to step outside your comfort zone to see the world in a different light. The excuse of "But I've always done it that way" or even worse "My parents did it that way" does not cut it. The world is changing and we can't settle into the same old thing.

Let me ask, have you booked a plane fair through a travel agent lately? What about taking film to the drugstore to get photos developed? Did you ask for the Beta section at Blockbuster last time you were there?

Bob Dylan talked about how things were changing over 40 years ago.

Heck, now we can watch him perform it live in 1976 or the Peter, Paul and Mary version with a click of a mouse.

Things are moving at an astounding pace. I had seen this video before, as most of you have, but a recent post on a friend's blog had me think about just how quickly things are moving.

When you decided to buy a house did your mom or dad say "Call Joe Schmoe, that's who we used 15 years ago." Did you call or did you turn on your computer?

Times they are a changin'
