Blocking

I was reminded today about an amazing event that happened in my life several months ago. It was a late night, about 10 or 11pm and I was out with my two sons driving around. We were putting out signs to promote my business. You know the signs that you see on utility polls on highways or locally. Yes I do put out signs. Marketing is key right. :)

Well I found the BEST location for one right at a light going onto a major highway in my area. So as I pulled over a car pulls up behind me. So I waited for the car to go pass me but he just sat there. I rolled my window down and signaled him to go around me and he just sat there. I turned around and made hand gestures to go around me and he just sat there. So I just sat there.  Now this was about 4 minutes in and I won't lie, I was getting very scared. Then I turned my head around towards him and I could see him making hand gestures at me. Now I became angry and I was yelling in the car, "this idiot has to be drunk" and if you really know me I do have a bid of stubbornness when I want something and I wanted my sign on that pole.

So, I bust a U-Turn so the car would be in front of me... And what happened next made my jaws drop to the floor and tears flooded my eyes. That man pulled off but instead of going onto the highway like I expected, he pulled in his driveway. What was the likely hood of me being in front of his house and blocking his driveway. He's driveway was the LAST house before the highway.
I thought this man was drunk, I thought he was an idiot,  My thoughts were wrong! Dead wrong. Of course my kids were totally confused to why I was crying. You also maybe confused to why I was crying... So I'll tell you what I told my boys....

If I thought he was all of what I though he was and ended up being an innocent man just trying to get home what else in my life could I possible see as being not good and in reality it's all good. I learned in that second my thoughts are SO POWERFUL they can distort reality. Our thoughts can distort what is to what's our. So it is true that whatever we see we are.
And Zyaire fell asleep and Zykir said, "So we can change it too the other way too right" and I said, "what do you mean? " Zykir Said, "you know like, you could next time see the man and his driveway first?" I smiled and said "YES"
