GARBAGES
A man once told of his experience with a taxi driver, and it goes thus: "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 even though he did wrong. 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."
There are more frustrated and anger stricken people out there than there are once with healthy Spirit. So each day, make up your mind not to let anyone empty their garbage in your truck.
Here is a word I say to myself that gets me going each time someone tries to offend me. I just say, "Emmanuel, don't let their bad attitude turn your good into bad." Each time you react with bad attitude to a bad attitude, you've let yourself become as negative as they are.
Success is a Journey that demands a clean and healthy Spirit. Don't give room to garbages on your journey.
