The law of the Garbage Truck

 A Client of mine sent this story to me at work.
 I thought it was fantastic and Yes, I am working towards learning this lesson

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 the 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 nice and friendly.

So I asked "why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital"?

This is where I learned what I now call "The Law of the garbage truck".

My taxi driver 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 will 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 to 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 10% what you make it

         and 90% how you take it!

 Have a fantastic garbage free day :)
