I flew home from a trip on MLK Day and arrived to an airport in chaos. I usually take a Uber or Lyft home rather than park at the airport, but when I went to call a ride, the prices and wait times were astronomical, with a line of drivers stretched for miles around the airport.
I glanced over at the nearly empty line for a regular, boring taxi. It was as if it were invisible to the horde of people overflowing in the Uber waiting area.
I made it home faster than an Uber would have even been able to pick me up. Oh, and it was cheaper too.
It’s always worth pausing, taking a breath, and noticing when you’re engaging in a habit or pattern. Is what you’re doing truly the best course of action? Or are you just on autopilot, following the crowd?
