Law of the Garbage Truck

Law of the Garbage Truck

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!


If someone can't treat you right, Love you back, and see your worth....
LET Them GO!
