Take the No Garbage Trucks Pledge

There’s a revolution going on and you’re now a part of it. And people from more than 100 countries have already joined you. You have read The Law of the Garbage Truck: You no longer let Garbage Trucks take over your life.

I discovered The Law of the Garbage Truck more than 16 years ago in the back of a New York City taxi cab. And I’ve shared it with thousands of people all over the world in my workshops and speeches.

I’ve written about the Law of the Garbage Truck in newspaper columns and on news sites worldwide. I’ve talked about it on radio and television. And I’ve shared it in the best-selling DVD, The Happiness Answer. And someone probably sent it to you in a mass email.

People from around the world have been signing on to the “No Garbage Trucks!” Revolution. And now, so are you.

If you want to be happy . . . If you want to be successful . . . You have to follow The Law of the Garbage Truck. Here is an excerpt from The Law of the Garbage Truck.

“Many people are like Garbage Trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they do what garbage trucks do: They look for a place to dump it. And if you let them, they’ll dump it on you. 

So when someone wants to dump on you, don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well and move on.  Believe me. You’ll be happier.”

So join millions of others in the No Garbage Trucks Revolution. Take the No Garbage Trucks Pledge now.

Just think: What would happen in your life, starting today, if you let more Garbage Trucks pass you by? Make a difference in the world. Take the Pledge.

The No Garbage Trucks Pledge:

• I am not a Garbage Truck. I do not accept garbage in my life.

• When I see Garbage Trucks, I do not take them personally. I just smile. I wave. I wish them well. And I move on.

• And I do not spread garbage to others. I am not a Garbage Truck!

• I do not accept garbage in my life.

Welcome and congratulations! You are now a member of the No Garbage Trucks Revolution. When you stop accepting garbage in your life, you become happier and more successful. And when you stop spreading garbage to others, you make the world a more beautiful place.

Always remember your No Garbage Trucks Pledge. You do not accept garbage in your life. And you do not spread garbage to others. You are not a Garbage Truck.

Now, spread the word. Tell the people you care about. Share the No Garbage Trucks Pledge with them. Together we can make the world a better place. We are not Garbage Trucks!
