Recently I had the fortunate experience of being stopped by a policeman while driving. While this may not seem like a fortunate event for most people, it allowed him to inform me that I was driving an unregistered car. To my surprise, he was correct. My car registration was six months out of date and I had no idea. I have learnt my lesson now, that it is solely my responsibility to make sure the car registration is paid when due regardless of whether I receive a renewal notice of not.
The reason this stressful event at the time was fortunate, is that apparently if you have an accident the car insurance is not valid. This event potentially saved me much money and grief, regardless of the fine I had to pay.
For this reason, I appreciated the notification by the policeman and sent him a thank you card. I understand a police officers job cannot be an easy one and you would truely have to believe that what you are doing is necessary to deal with all the crap they have to deal with on a daily basis. It takes a strong and committed person to do that job.
This poor policeman was so surprised to receive a card from someone he had fined, that he came around and thanked me for the card. I certainly didn’t expect that!
That got me thinking. He must see and experience the worst that people are capable of on a regular basis and I truely felt sorry for him and all police officers. I on the other hand, get to experience the best of people on a regular basis. Clients come to me because they are taking control of their lives, because they want to improve, because they want to create a better self and world. This is such an inspiring environment to work in and the reason I am still doing it after ten years. I am humbled that I get to meet the amazing people that I do. I am truly blessed. I give all I can to help others, so that I can get to see them blossom and change the world they live in. Awesome!
Thanks to all the people who regularly deal with the crap humans are capable of. I hope you also get to take time out and spend it with people who make this world a better place. There are so many of them out there. They just don’t necessarily make it into the news.
You Are The Best! I Am Blessed!
