Passenger Mode

When we go through difficult times, a natural impulse seems to be “solve”. Fix it and move on…

But some situations are truly beyond us — and any sort of solution falls short. I read something that resonated with me: Passenger Mode.

Switch into passenger mode when things are beyond your control. Your role is to go with the flow—not to diminish the situation, but to help you endure it. Be patient with yourself and take things one moment at a time.

It’s okay not to be the driver. Sometimes the steering wheel is no longer yours to hold. Just try your best to navigate gently. Let the road take its course — one mile at a time.
