The Law of Garbage Trucks

India
September 5, 2012 2:23am CST
Here is something worth applying!! "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 if you let them, they'll dump it on you. When someone wants to dump on you, don't take it personally. Instead, just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. You'll be happier because you did." Wow. That really got me thinking about how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? AND, how often do I then take their garbage and spread it onto other people: at work, at home, on the streets? It was that day I resolved, "I'm not going to do it anymore." Since then, I have started to see Garbage Trucks everywhere. Just as the kid in the Sixth Sense movie said, "I see dead people," I can now say, "I see Garbage Trucks." :) Focus on what's important. Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so Love the people who treat you right and correct. Forget about the ones who don’t. Believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, TAKE IT! If it changes your life, LET IT! Nobody said it would be easy… They just promised it would be worth it!

hello nupur, I understand your situation and I feel sad about it. For a very simple thing and meaningless reason- a husband must and should not shout like that. My ex-husband is a picture of an ideal father and husband. He's very cool and honestly most of the time I am the one who get's angry when he messed up things- like he forget to close the toothpaste or put his laundry inside the basket. But he never raise a voice at me nor lift a finger. The only flaw he has is....he is too generous and loves woman a lot...(lols)

I sure can take some garbage for sometime and then I forget it. But sometimes with a single word i am provoked i don't understand why this is happening.

@ nupur, I use to be very sentimental. I am easily affected with little things. I can say that i have a very soft heart for people who really need help and I never ever turned my back without doing/giving help to the maximum level. But with people who keeps complaining/bragging that life is unfair...I am tired and sick listening to those kind of people. They need to change and help themselves fist before anyone can help them.

hi, that is true,life is too short and very past so that every minute in our life we need to enjoy it and treasure all the things that will happen to us even though it is a hard and bad time still we need to treasure it to make our life more meaningful.if we have bad times we just need to forget and learn from it.

I wish my cousin who keeps dumping her garbage on me could read this. Sometimes her anger and frustrations does affect my mood. I hope she can be more positive and spread good vibes to people rather than what she is doing right now.

Hi thanks I loved reading this. Quite true. I find many garbage trucks around too and many of them think me to be their dumping yard as I rarely complain. I firmly believe in what you say - Life is too short and there is no such value in being a garbage truck.

Sorry, I don't think I got the message well.. When someone wants to unload on me, should I let them? If life is too short, then wouldn't I be losing focus if I let people dump their "garbage" on me?
