It was May 21, 2014 and I was having a horrible day, well at that point and time to be completely honest, it had really been a horrible month and just an odd weird year! It was one of those days where you wish you could just stay home in bed, be around no one and do nothing!
But not an option when your registration is about to expire. So on this yucky day I was walking up to the entry doors of DMV, and really dreading the whole DMV experience, and as I approach the door there was a man walking out. He made a point to hold the door, but in a very unique way, he scoots aside with a little, what looked like bunny hop, still holding the door open, he does this little bend of of the knees, like a dip, as puts his arm out and says, "Welcome to DMV" with a big smile as he giggles. Clearly he didn't work there and made it a point to just be funny and silly at the same time.
He actually made me laugh out loud and in a spilt second, he managed to completely shifted my energy and state, changing my mood just like that! In the blink of an eye! I sit here today thinking what a funny guy! Does he know that he just made my day? Does he know that those two seconds made enough of an impact of me, my day and life that I never forgot it? And does he know his little silliness prompted me to publicly speak about it and share? No, I honestly don't think he realized what he did. We need more people acting funny and silly like him in the world! I think we should be aware of the impact thirty seconds could have on a life, and attempt to be silly, funny, happy or cute, because 20 seconds of silly could impact another's life that second or forever.
Has this ever happened to you? I'm absolutely positive someone has shifted you into the negative, because that is so easy to do in our crazy fast paced world. For example while driving in traffic, someone cuts you off, that split second you could snap right out of your mellow state and good mood, right into irritation and for some, maybe so angry that you go into a fit of road rage. In the blink of an eye! Just like that! But has anyone ever shifted your energy state or frame of mind into positivity in a split second? Like this guy did at the DMV? Just like that "Ta Dah!"?
I mean I was dragging my but around until he crossed my path and then I was laughing and snapped into a better mood.
Can you be like this guy just once in a while? I know I will do what I can to smile and say hi to as many people possible, and say thank you to as many people that I can, in my life.
I know, for me, that always shifts my energy, knowing how I helped someone that I cared for and hearing them express how happy they are that I'm a part of their path or life. Or maybe say how proud I am of someone in my life, or maybe just I love you!
Yes, that's a plan to help shift their energy!
