Guest guest Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 On second thought, I will share this one only with you because I don't want everyone knowing where I work. Background: For 30 years, I have worked at a car dealership. We doeverything from selling new and used cars, to service work, to bodywork, to supplying parts. Whenever someone comes in for servicework, without exception, the ones who are the happiest are the ones whoare supplied a " loaner vehicle " while their own vehicle is beingrepaired. Because of the cost involved, the mileage incurred andthe insurance liability, this is not always possible. Dream: I was at the entrance of the service department. Althoughfor some reason, it was on the other side of the building. I hadlined up several loaner cars. Every time someone would drop theircar off, I would give them a loaner car and send their car back to theshop to be repaired. I told them, " From now on, just come see meand I will make sure that you have a loaner and can go on with yourlife while your car is being repaired. When you come back, youcan have your car back and it will be fixed! " The people werevery happy. I stood there and went through the process, takingtheir car, sending it to the back, giving them the keys to the loaner,and letting them go. Then they would come back and I would takeback the loaner, and give them their car back - completely repaired. The customers were very happy. Lesson: People think they are happiest when they can keep " going andgoing and going " without ever having to be inconvenienced. Maybethe reason we cannot always " get a loaner " every time that we " need tobe fixed " is because we are not supposed to keep " going and going andgoing. " (Following the directions of the human ego.) Sometimes, Higher Intelligence gives us no choice but to rest andremind us to love and nurture that which cannot be replaced. Andlisten to another Voice, other than the one that thinks that it needsto just keep " going and going and going. " The one that whispersto us only when we stop, rest and reflect.

Great advice ~ Thank you! As long as we have ears to hear, we will hear the Voice!
