Deep Thoughts.....

This was handed to me today and I thought I would share.

Law Of the Garbage Truck

One day I hopped in a taxi and took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and swerved, missing the other 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....I mean he was really friendly.
So I asked, "why did you just to that? The guy almost ruined your car and sent both of us to the hospital!"
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 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 on 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 is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so.....Love the people that treat you right, pray for the ones who don't.

Peace out.
