Many
people
believe that they are multi-taskers but few people really are.
What would make a person think that they can drive a
car responsibly while talking on the phone?Arrogance, stubbornness,
desperation, and impatience.
Let's break each one of these reasons down. First,
arrogance comes into play when you overrule common sense, the "I've got
this", syndrome. Giving you a false confidence.Making you feel like,
just because you're you, that you can do anything.
Having a phone conversation requires you to think
about what you're hearing and also to come up with a reply. So far,
that's only the phone conversation side of the equation.
Now let's consider the driving part. Realizing how
many auto accidents claim peoples' lives every single day, do you still
feel that you can do something that requires all of your immediate
attention, constantly, and do something else that requires your
attention at the same time? Stubbornness comes into play when you see all
of these facts and still keep the "I've got this",syndrome.
Desperation is when you feel that you have no other
choice but to break the rules.Something has happened to someone dear to
you and you have to get all of the details.You're going to be late for
work and you've got to let them know that you'll be late.
Impatience says," I've got to do it now; this can't
wait any longer". Accompanying this attitude is often a feeling of anger
or agitation, or both.
When a Christian thinks about all of these states of
mind ,he or she, can see that these things are all attributed to the
enemy, satan.
The one who would love to destroy you in any way
possible as long as you're alive. That is his mission, to destroy you before
you even realize that you have a problem.
A good strategy is to seek out those things in your life that can be
considered as doing something "stupid" and stop doing them. The
objective is to be as truly smart as you can be. A LINK TO ACCIDENTS CAUSED WHILE USING CELLPHONES
