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 breaks, 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 our 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 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 is 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.
My Take: There are so many stories like this that remind us of our higher potential. I would like to add that learning to worship Divinity in the heart helps with this practice immensely and will bring much equanimity and peace in life. Worshipping through the heart stimulates the 4th Chakra, the Anahatha Chakra. This chakra has a special release valve that can dissipate negative emotions that may originate from ourselves or from others. Next time you find yourself in a stressful situation. Take a time out and worship the Divine in your heart, don't bother trying to analyze or solve the problems just yet, worship first, you feel the Divine's assistance immediately and clarity will dawn in consciousness.
