A People Lesson From The Lane Weaver Driver

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty 0575737

We have all seen this person on the road. Coming up fast from behind you and cutting you off then weaving in and out of traffic. The Lane Weaver. Dangerous. Must be in a hurry. Terrible driver. Agitated. Or crazy. Definitely scary. But it made me think in business and in life people that OFFEND you, you wonder why me? Sweet me? What did I do to them? 

But the LESSON of the Lane Weaver? It is not YOU. It is them!! Notice they are doing that to everyone. Step back when people irritate, disappoint, frustrate, break your heart or hurt you. Something going on inside THEM.

Good message Gary. We often make issues about ourselves when it really had nothing to do with us.

Oh that guy was driving down my highway yesterday too.  I always wonder what the toot is.  Do they really arrive that much sooner and is it worth it in the end?

Mother Teresa has a quote that talks about It was never between you and them anyway Gary but I am pretty sure she never drove the highways.  I take that to heart during stressful times, great post!

So very true. I will remember that, especially now and in the days, weeks ahead. I wondered if a online conversation today may have sparked this. Regardless excellent message.

A very good point Gary. Too often we take things personally when it's really the other person that has issues.
