Love Impound Lots

A very interesting thing happened to me today. So I'm parked in downtown Minneapolis, and I had a board meeting right away this morning. , right, running a couple minutes behind. But with that being said, I parked my vehicle right outside this downtown area in one of those meters, and I got done with my meeting, done with my board meeting. I walked out to get my vehicle, and when I walked out to get my vehicle, it was no longer there. So I was like, okay, it's not stolen because I have my keys, so what could it be?

And for a minute, you get kind of frustrated and upset, and you're like, God, where is it? And then, of course, you're thinking, it's got to be in power. My vehicle is down there. I missed this little gap in this little window in downtown Minneapolis where you can't park for, like, ten minutes or whatever it was. And so with that being said, they towed my vehicle to the impound lot. And right then and there, I made an instant decision that I'm going to choose happy. And I'm not going to be a victim of having my car towed, my vehicle towed.

This was my fault. I'm the one who parked there. So immediately, I just entered this very optimistically, whether it was getting my uber over to the impound lot, whether it was I was meeting with the attendant right away, who basically kind of gave me a little attitude when I was walking in. And my response to her was, you know, how are you doing? I said, $200 lighter in my pocket. No denying that fact. But have my vehicle. It's here. I got my car, and I'm back, and I'm running, and I'm feeling better than ever.

And I'm so glad that I made that choice in that minute, in that mindset of, I'm going to choose happy right now. No matter what happened with this decision, I'm not going to be a victim. I'm going to be a victor. I'm going to walk through this habit. I'm not going to come with the woe is me mentality. I'm just going to come through this and say, such is life. Suck it up, move forward, right? Pay the couple hundred bucks, get off and run and do what I have to do. But ultimately, I'm happy as a clam.

I have my vehicle. I'm in good health. I have wonderful things going for me in my life. Feel great. So I would encourage you to choose happy when one of those moments hit where you have that instant mindset that you can immediately choose. Like, I'm going to be p***** off and frustrated, or I'm going to be happy. So I chose happy. I feel great. I have my vehicle. Couldn't be better. 200 pounds later, $200 later. Not two pounds, but have a wonderful day. Bye bye. Thank you so much, Cadre. Enjoy your day.

Bye.
