The 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!

MOVIN' WITH MORALES! ~
