Hey there this is Kirby Hasseman with the Monday Minute!
When I was on the high school football team, I remember a
coach yelling "Keep your head on a Swivel!" The idea was to
be aware of your surroundings at all times, so you didn't get
clobbered. If you were looking too closely at a running back,
you might not see the pulling guard coming to drill you.
You never wanted to hear, "Hasseman, you need to keep your
head on a swivel!" It probably meant you were on your back.
I hear that voice in my head now, but in a different way.
Whenever I go to a public place, I "keep my head on a swivel."
But now it's not because I am concerned with a pulling guard.
As an adult, it's because I want to be aware of others
around me.
I want to make sure I am not stepping in front of another
person.
I try to look and make sure I am not bumping someone else
out of the way.
Mainly, I am trying to "keep my head on a swivel" so that I
am not making MY priority the only important task in the
universe.
We all get busy, but I think the world might be a bit of a
better place if we all kept "our head on a swivel" to look out
for the needs of others, not just our own.
Thanks so much for watching The Monday Minute.
