I read this a few minutes ago and felt that I must share it with you. So here it is and what I was planning to post today can wait.
One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for
the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped
out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his
brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches!
The driver of the other car whipped his head
around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the
guy. And I mean, he was really friendly. So I asked, 'Why did you just do that?
This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!' This is when my
taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck.'
He explained that many people are like garbage
trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger,
and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to
dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally, just
smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread
it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.
The bottom line is that successful people do not
let garbage trucks take over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the
morning with regrets, so...Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the
ones who don't.
Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety
percent how you take it! Have a blessed, garbage-free day!
