Law of the Garbage Truck

One day I hopped in 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 guy 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 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, 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 that don't. Life is 10% what you make it and 90% how you take it! ~HAVE A GARBAGE FREE DAY!

That is so true. It's amazing that my emotionally abusive husband is a Garbage Truck Driver. He hauls alot of his own garbage and dumps it on me like I'm his personal landfill.

Killing people like that with kindness is great. It's actually kind of fun to watch their confused reaction.

This is very similar to the Four Agreements. Which I keep reminding myself to read again but never take the time. Off to read.

Kit,
Hope you do not mind that I posted this. Good stuff! The Four Agreements® 1. Be Impeccable With Your Word Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love. 2. Don't Take Anything Personally Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering. 3. Don't Make Assumptions Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life. 4. Always Do Your Best Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret

This is a great thread. The third of the four agreements is a huge learning experience for me. I learned the hard way, but I have learned. Woohoo! Thanks for these wise words... I am copying them to my email to share...
