Day 28 of 400 "Watch out"

So on my way to work today there was this lady that ran a stop sign and when she pulled out in front of me she slowed down. Then as we're driving down the country road she's all over the road. When we finally get near the intersection she decides to drive on the wrong side of the road. So I pulled up next to her, which she seemed very confused by, and I said to her, "Hey, you ran a stop sign and you were driving in the long lane all the way here, are you okay?" The lady looks at me with this confused look on her face like she didn't know what world she was in and just reply uh huh. I told her I just wanted to be sure she was okay. Man alive.

While looking at a situation like this sometimes it's good to recall what you were thinking about to see if you need to slow down or if you're on the wrong track. I think I was thinking about work and how I'd like to handle a situation here, but after looking at this I know now that my higher self was telling me I was taking the wrong approach.

My approach was just to get upset at the next thing that went wrong up here and just close it all down. Well that's kind of drastic but familiar to me. It seemed like, as kids, when something wasn't going right we were moving without thought or concern for others.

My higher self was allowing me to see that I need to not make a quick move (lady running through red light) and that I should just slow down (lady slowing down in front of me) so that I can stay on track with my goal (lady driving in the wrong lane). And the thing was she was kind of in the middle of the road the whole time but it wasn't until we were almost to the stop sign that she starting driving in the wrong lane into on coming traffic. (You are near your goal just stay focused and on track.

I understood after reviewing this that I allowed my subconscious mind to dictate my actions, emotions, and responses to a situation that is really my creation to begin with. So I'm able to take a big breath and do the process.

Ego statement: People need to wake up and pay attention to what they are doing in life because when they don't I get pissed and upset. I wonder to myself why so many people are just so ignorant. I'm gaining impatience while losing control.
(I embellished this a little today. LOL Just to give it a dramatic effect.)

Spirit statement: I am aware of the details to what I do in life and know I am happy and calm. I am aware of myself because others show me that I am wise, patient, and focused.

Enjoy!
