Two Things
First thing.
Almost 6 years now im driving
through the streets of Metro Manila.
Daily traffic, floods, pollution,
undisciplined pedestrians, vehicular
accidents, motorcycle dominations,
jeepneys and buses in no loading/unloading
zone or drag race on major roads.
So stressful!
Once i caught in a heavy traffic and is barely crawling forward,
my mind tells me that i won't make it to an appointment on time.
What i did is play my favorite MP3s, enjoying the comfort of my
car seat, creating some thoughts for my blog. hehehe
Imagine! i am 10 minutes earlier before the meeting starts.
That's a providence nature we can have, and it's working.
Instead of fretting and getting upset or anxious, we can control
the situation.
Try it.
Second thing.
I observe people including me(sometimes)hehehe,
jostling and always push our way to be the first in line.
It happens everyday.
The pressure is always there.
To be first in elevator,
first in grocery line,
first in the train or out in the train,
first out of the traffic or
first in buffet table.
Well i try to be the last, ONE WHOLE DAY.
To let the other car go first.
Open doors to let others through first.
Let someone speak first.
I let the others eat first.
It's hard but it's liberating!
Well life is not about being in the first place.
It's about living simple and practicing generosity too.
Try it.
