“If life does something that causes a disturbance inside of you, instead of pulling away, let it pass through you like the wind. After all, things happen every day that cause inner disturbance. At any moment, you can feel frustration, anger, fear, jealousy, insecurity or embarrassment.”  From the book: the untethered soul by Michael A. Singer, 2007

The Story: My husband was driving home from work one evening.  He made a U-turn and was pulled over by a cop.  “What did I do wrong?” asked my husband.  “You made a U-turn when the sign posted says NO U-TURN. Give me your license, registration and proof of insurance.”  The cop began writing up the ticket.  When my husband could not produce the proof of insurance paper, he called me on his cell.  Now, I am involved.  But the cop would not talk to me. He just gave my husband the ticket and drove off.

When my husband arrived home, he told me the whole story and showed me the ticket.  I’m baffled.  What does this ticket say?  The next day, I call the phone number on the back of the ticket.  There is a recorded message that says, “There are 93 callers ahead of you.”  WHAT!  Now I know I am in an illusion!  At this point, I am aware that I have lowered my vibration with confusion, frustration and impatience.  I have lost my joy, so I stop, hang up the phone and dismiss it.

Two weeks later, a bill comes in the mail from the courthouse. It states how much is owed if the car was not insured at the time the cop gave my husband the ticket ($700+ YIKES!) BUT THEN it says if the car was insured, show proof and pay $10.

The next day I rose early, drove to the courthouse and had the most wonderful experience. 

A very courteous and helpful man at the entrance looked at the ticket and deciphered it for me.  I learned that the U-turn was written as a warning.  I learned that if I could prove the car was insured it would only cost TEN DOLLARS!  Now that was very good news!  I whipped out my checkbook and proof of insurance and was out of there in less than 15 minutes.

Moral of the Story: If I had known it was going to turn out so good, I would not have allowed low vibrational emotions to pull me out of my joy.  I would have relaxed, breathed, and allowed those feelings to move through me like the wind.  With emotion removed from the story, it is just a tale of Spirit moving from one moment to the next creating one juicy story after the other.

Until you return, fill your days with GIGGLES, JOY, APPRECIATION!
