The Law of the Garbage Truck

I like this message:

One day I hopped into 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 inches. The driver of the other car whipped his head around immediately and started yelling at us. My taxi driver simply smiled and waved at the guy in a friendly manner.
"Why did you do that? That guy almost ruined your car and could have sent us both to the hospital?"
He winked at me and said "This is called the law of the garbage truck".
He explained that people are like garbage trucks. They run around loaded with garbage, full of frustration, anger, disappointment. As their garbage piles up, the need a place to dump it. If you aren't careful, they dump it right on you. Don't take it personally, just smile, wave, and move on. Don't take their garbage and then spread it on at work, school, church, or on the streets. Successful people don't let garbage trucks take over their lives. Life it too short to wake up with regrets.
Love the people who treat you right, & pray for the ones who don't.
As I got out of the taxi, he called after me "have a blessed garbage free day."
