Don't take it personally

Why are they walking in my way so slowly? Why would he take the last one? Why is the ambulance making our car pull over when we're already late? So often we take things personally that have nothing to do with us. We create a story that's based on no information and we let it get us angry. Or worse, let it hurt us.

Maybe it's time to breathe. Then, if we are going to create a story let it be one that uplifts us. Maybe they're walking slowly because they've just found new love and are savoring it. Maybe he took the last one because he's getting it for a friend he hasn't seen in a decade. Maybe the fact that we pulled over for the ambulance means a life gets saved. Instead of victims, we're heroes. Instead of being hurt we can smile and pass it on.
