There's a problem, and I notice it most when I'm driving. Let me just say, I'm a pretty good driver (ok, aside from the curb incident last week).
When I'm driving, I like to kind of have the road to myself. I don't like driving on roads that are congested; if someone is travelling behind me, and they start following close - it kind of spooks me. So, when this happens, I use the mirrors a lot, and find myself concentrating more than I probably should, on the car/s behind me, on what's going on with them. Instead of focusing purely on what's ahead, I get caught up on watching behind.
And the problem with this, is that I do the same thing in life too. There's rarely a time that I'm looking forward and not thinking about what's behind me. What becomes wrong with this, is that you miss out on seeing things ahead - not only dangerous things, but good things too. Warning signs, yes, but people too. Living in the past, looking at life through the rear view mirror is no way to live, or drive.
