The movie
Have you ever been in a hurry and driving to work takes longer then usual?
Well, that is not strange, not at all!
In spirituality we always say that ALL things happen for a reason, that everything that happens has to happen in order for you to grow, the good things and the bad things.
It is not much different when it comes to driving a car. The way you drive a car, fast, slow, if you respect the speed limits, if you are cautious when driving and driving defensive are all signs how you "drive" yourself throught your life.
When you are late for work, what happens? You know you are late and you don´t want to come late again so you hurry so the delay is not that obvious but it will be anyway.
So you get in the car start the engine, put in the gear, off to leave the kids to school, they are late too, of course, then when they are at school you drive off to the mainroad and wait to make a turn so you can get on the mainroad.
What happens in this moment?
Simple, since you are in a hurry and you are thinking it and feeling it inside of you, heart beats faster, and there you have to wait because suddenly a lot of cars are coming from both directions, you can see how many they are. The panic sensation that you are going to be late again increases and you are imagening the co-workers look on their faces thinking: She/he is late again" .
You are still standing on the same spot because the amount of cars does not seems to end! My God, why me? Why now? When I least need it?
The answer is simple: YOU NEED IT RIGHT NOW!
You are the creator of this delay and just enjoy the ride, accept the situation, that you are the one to blame for coming late, no one forced you, but yourself.
When you let go of the thought/feeling that you are coming late or better accept the fact that you are already late. Don´t dwell on it, don´t analyze it, just accept!
When you do that, suddenly the cars will disappear and will leave you an opening to make the turn and go on the mainroad. Just as simple as that!
Try it next time and you will see! It works!
On the other hand when you have an anxiety that you have to be somewhere on a specific time you have that inside of you. You feel the presure not beeing on time and all of a sudden you get a car in front of you who drives very slowly.
You know that, dont´you? It happened to you too? Come on, confess!!!
When that happens then it is a sign for you to slow down. The universe conspires with you to take it slowly, think that it
has a reason why just the particular car pulled in front of you.
Next time it happens take a step back and see what you felt and thought about a few minutes ago, you will see that you where in a hurry when you did not need to. The universe helped you to slow down, so be thankful for the driver in the slow car! Just say "Thanks".
I saw this situation a couple of days ago. I was in a hurry and I was driving my daughter to school. All of a sudden a big grey metallic car came from the right side and made a turn to the left so I had to brake. He/she got in front of me, he/she must have been in a hurry. 50 m ahead there was a traffic circle and what happens: a trailer who was very slow was in the traffic circle and was going veeeery slow, of course!
The other car in front of me had to break hard but I had already seen it and had my car standing still. I have to confess, I laughed hard because the car in front of me was in such a hurry and what happened? It was forced to slow down!!! I felt a little spiteful!Yeah, I confess that is what I felt and I´m not ashamed of it!!!
So the car in front of me, the car that came cut me off, was forced to slow down to a minimum and then when he/she could, speeded again. I was going in the same direction so I could see the car all the time in front of me. About a 200 m ahead there was a traffic light. It was green so the car could just go through it at once but was forced to slow down because we where outside a school so you could just go 30 mph. I had to stop at the traffic light but the car in front of me got over the intersection but was slowed down by other cars.
When I got the green light I caught up with the grey car again. It had a lot of cars in front and had to take it slow. I could not hold my laugh. Yeah, I confess that too!!!
Further up there was another traffic light and the grey car was taking the left lain to make a turn and I was going straight forward. Guess what happened next??
The grey car got a red light and I got a green! I went by the grey car and waved at the driver, whoever it was.
This was just like seeing a movie. It was a good way to see what happens when you speed or you are just in a hurry. I saw myself because it had happened to me too before.
But I felt a little "Schadenfreude" , sorry folks! I´m only human!
Namaste!
