The driver's seat
Don’t say down. That’s my line.
Are you in the driver’s seat? Or in the back of the bus?
Whether it’s running your business or your personal life, are you the one doing the driving or is your direction dictated by someone else leading the way?
Following great leaders who have a sense of direction and only lead you to greater things is very rewarding!
But unless you are the lead dog, the view never changes.

Only a driver has a room with a view.
Not only a driver’s seat, but THE driver’s seat of an Audi! 🙂
Now at home, I try to make sure that it’s a front seat situation for us both.
Meg sometimes asks me how I’m get along at work, since I’m always asking for her view on a decision we need to make. I tell her that, at work, I know that I can just make a decision when it needs to be made. However, at home, I think it could become an abuse of power if I just start making family decisions on my own.
I guess there does need to be a happy medium and a division of power, though.
Always thinking…
Patty, I’m usually the driver on our trips. I’m a horrible passenger. I seem to see more from the driver’s seat.
Craig, there are some things that my wife lets me decide by default. I don’t know how long you guys have been married. There will be some decisions that will naturally default to one over the other. But keep consulting each other. As with any relationship, communication is key.
