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, 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 (frustration, anger, and disappointment, etc.).
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.

No matter where you’ve been, no matter what you’ve done,
realize today that your destiny supersedes your mistakes.
When God designed the plan for your life, it wasn’t dependent
on you being perfect, never making a mistake, or never taking a wrong turn.
No,
God knew we would all make mistakes.
He knows how to get you back on track no matter where you are in life.
Just like there are many routes on ...a map,
God has a plan to help you reach your destination.
He has detours, shortcuts and bypasses.
He has already calculated the entire route for your life.

Today, if you’re feeling like you’ve blown it,
if you feel like you are too old, too far gone or too off track,
know that nothing you’ve done,
no mistake that you’ve made —
or ever will make — is a surprise to God.
He’s already got it figured out.
He’s arranged a comeback for every setback!
He has grace for every weakness.
He has mercy for every failure.
Receive it today
and move forward with boldness into the destiny He has for you!
