Life, Money and Gratitude # 64 20 MPH - Are you kidding me!

Have you ever driven behind someone driving really slow?

Slow enough it makes your hair hurt?

The other day I had to run some errands across town and the speed limit where I live is 35 MPH (too slow, in my opinion).

Low and behold I get behind someone driving really slow, like I could walk faster than they were driving.

My first thought was to use some choice words for this person, non of these words were kind.

Then I thought, I could get up close and honk my horn but decided against that.

My next genius thought was to pretend I was a Jedi with the ability to move things with my mind, I was using my pointer finger and middle finger to shift the car in front of me off to the side of the road so I could pass.

No Luck.

Then I remembered the Human Mind Trick that is available to all of us, I asked myself;

1. Is this in my control?

2. What options do I have?

The speed of the person in front of me was not in my control and I couldn't pass them or take an alternate route.

So.

I decided to take a couple of breaths, reduce my frustration and just be patient.

Two minutes later I turned off onto my road and went home.

You and I get to decide how we are going to react, that is in our control.

Choose wisely.

20 MPH - Are you kidding me!

Until next time, God Bless and be well.

20 MPH - Are you kidding me!
