Why are Ten-Year olds Driving?

I gave my daughter her first driving lesson when she was
ten.

And why not? She'll feel more comfortable driving, won't be
in a big hurry to get her license...and most people drive like
they're ten-years old anyway.

I took Grace and her friend Taylor over to the empty parking
lot at 'old Wal-Mart', and let them drive around a little. The
grand finale was me doing some doughnuts in the Lions Club
gravel parking lot; kind of an example of what not to do.

But she gets a lesson every time I bring her home from school.
She's not actually driving, but is getting plenty of good examples
of what not to do.

Not from me...but from the other ten-year olds out there.

We don't get too far into our trip before we find someone
weaving or driving much slower than the speed limit.
These are the guys and gals making a life-or-death
phone call while they're driving.

The call's probably not that important; but it could cost them or
someone else their life if they're not paying attention.

The clown we saw yesterday must've been in a real big
hurry. I usually give people the benefit of the doubt, like
there's a medical emergency or something. But he passed
six of us, all going at or above the speed limit, across a
double-line, can't-see-around-the-curve, no-pass zone.

I told Grace 'There's nowhere you need to get THAT quick; he'll
probably be sitting at the red light when we get there.' And three
miles later, there he sat.

Hurry usually doesn't get you there much faster, and it's more
likely to actually slow you down and stress you out.

Or like Wallace Wattles says (and I believe, too):

"Hurry is a manifestation of fear...Hurry and fear will instantly
cut your connection with the Universal Mind; you will get no
power, no wisdom, and no information until you are calm."


So, you can hurry your life away, and never do the things you
really want to do. Like work out. Eat right. Sit quietly for a
minute or two and breathe.

or you can realize that you're in charge of your time. 'Take five'
at the end of each day to plan your next one; and five at the
beginning of each day to get prepared. (If you're having trouble
finding the five minutes, I suggest getting a TiVo, or just turn the
darn thing off)

You're also in charge of what goes in your mouth. Bad eating
usually follows bad planning, hurry, etc. So take five minutes now,
order the Core Four Platinum or Gold Pack

Then, take 45 seconds each day and take 'em. (it only takes three
or four swigs).

The fish oil and magnesium will help de-stress your brain; the CoQ10
will give you more energy; the AVED multi will improve your thinking
and your vision.

And THAT will help you get the most out of each day. You don't have
to hurry, but drive yourself on over NOW to

Live like You Mean it...without hurry or hesitation

PS There's a special Core Four pack for Ten-year olds as well.
The Bronze Pack (actually the Core Two) includes orange-flavored
fish oil and cherry flavored AVED multi. Grace and Taylor love 'em,
and your kids will to...
