it can wait.

Today, my mom showed me this video.  It's one of those things where I tell her, "yeah mom, but I'm good at it.  I don't even look at my phone, I know where the keys are without taking my eyes off the road."  She preceded to tell me that it doesn't matter if you don't take your eyes off the road to reply, but its in the microsecond you look away to view the message that anything could happen. I take it so lightly. After watching this, I realized that it really is a big deal.  I am definitely guilty of doing it. I'm sure the majority of people will view it as "not a big deal" when in reality, it could cost you your life, or the life of someone else.  

It's one of those issues that I think, "that will never happen to me".  This is probably the worst way to look at it.  No one ever thinks that something will "happen to them".  

 I'm glad I feel guilty because I would be concerned if I didn't.

It could cost someone their life, or could cause someone to live with the guilt of taking someone else's life on their shoulders. 

It's a big deal.

Think next time you reach for your phone. 

It can wait.
