Forgiving

Always choose love!

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”- Martin Luther King, Jr.

I’ve been pet sitting a couple of dogs these past few days, it’s a gig that I got from an acquaintance, personally I’ve never owned dogs and am not too familiar with their distinct personalities. Just today I was reflecting on how the white dog is friendlier and open because of her early upbringing, which was positive, she’s happy when she sees me and greets me. The little dog however, came from the streets and wasn’t treated well, she always hides when I show up even though I’ve never shown her anything else but love. Because of her unhealthy past experiences with people, she still has this fear whenever someone she doesn’t know too well shows up.

Today’s Inspiration!

Who’s Dumping On YOU?

The Garbage Truck Story:
One day, I hopped into a taxi and 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 the 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. 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, “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. NEVER take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on with the routine life.” Don’t take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home or on the streets.

The bottom line is that people with real goals don’t allow 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.’
