EXPECTATIONS - How to get out of a Speeding Ticket

If you look for the bad in people it isn’t hard to find, especially if your thoughts are focused on the negative aspect of persons personality or beliefs.

Take for instance my dog, Chewy Two Toes.  Chewy gets very excited when friends and family visit our home.  She acts like an overly excited bouncy dog with ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), and she has a bad habit of jumping on people as they enter the door making their way to be seated.  Yet I can project how badly Chewy will act before hand, when I am aware of who is going to visit, due to their expectations of Chewy’s behavior.  Her behavior is much worse when others expect her to act badly.

Another example:  A person, who is afraid of dogs, is most likely to be bitten or attacked by a dog.  Animals (and humans) can sense fear.  When someone is fearful of you, you get kind of defensive.  I know I do.  Instead of being an open loving soul, you put a wall up as you ready for attack. 

The same is true if you regard someone as good natured; that goodness will resonate. 

Next time you get pulled over by a cop for speeding or whatever, send good thoughts towards the officer who is pulling you over.  I’ve done this twice and both times I walked away without a speeding ticket.

The first time I was in Ohio, a state that makes a living off of speeders.  I know because I use to live there.  We were visiting from Florida; we had out-of-state tags, and I was doing 80 mph in a 55 mph zone.  My wife was flipping out.  Her daughter was getting married, and she was late for a salon appointment.  Luckily I didn’t get so wrapped up in the drama that I forgot what I was taught.

Right away my thoughts went into action, “That officer is a nice looking young man.  It’s a beautiful day, and he’s in a good mood.  He doesn’t want to give me a ticket.  In a few minutes I’ll be on my way without a speeding ticket or without going to jail for driving so fast.”

And guess what, it worked.  Not once, but twice.  The second occurrence just happened yesterday. 

A deputy sheriff pulled me over for doing 53 mph in a 30 mph zone, as I was exiting the beach.  I just about forgot what I was taught in regards to my thoughts, until the wife asked the question, “I wonder how much this ticket is going to cost?”

Right away, I changed my thoughts as I described in the traffic stop in Ohio, “This kid is a good cop, he doesn’t want to give me a ticket.”  And again, I walked away without a ticket.

The secret is learning to discipline the mind.  The more you practice.  The easier it becomes.  Keep your thoughts pure and choose to see the good in people, instead of the bad.  When you find yourself thinking badly of a person, look at their good qualities and focus on the positive instead of the negative. 

The information is available to us to make the world a better place to live.  We just need to choose to use it.  Make it a loving, happy, positive day ~ expect only the best out of yourself and others.
