Rubbernecking is an unfortunate human trait.
It’s morbid curiosity.
It’s investing an inappropriately large amount of your attention.
Looking at.
Or thinking about.
Something or someone that you shouldn’t.
Rubbernecking wastes your time.
And shows you something you really didn’t want to see anyway.
Rubbernecking is a bit daft.
Car Crashes.
Car crashes spawn rubbernecking.
But there is another kind of rubbernecking that is just as silly.
It’s the rubbernecking I sometimes do in my everyday life.
It’s paying attention to and thinking about those that impact my life negatively.
Paying attention to and thinking about those that might not like something I say.
Paying attention to and thinking about those that might not like something I do.
This kind of rubbernecking is just like that other kind of rubbernecking.
It is investing an inappropriately large amount of my attention.
Looking at.
Or thinking about.
Something or someone that I shouldn’t.
It wastes my time.
And it also shows me things that I really don’t want to see anyway.
This kind of rubbernecking is a bit daft too.
Look ahead.
So this year.
I’m going to look straight ahead.
Paying attention to and thinking about those in my life that inspire me positively.
Paying attention to and thinking about those that encourage me.
Paying attention to and thinking about those that lift me up.
Because all kinds of rubbernecking.
I think.
Are just a bit daft.
