A Certain richman about to retire invited all his 13 employers to his house for a roundtable talk......
Offering his guests coffee, the Man went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some
exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the employers had a cup of coffee in hand, the Man said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves,THAT IS THE SOURCE OF YOUR PROBLEM AND STRESS.
Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups(SELFISHNESS).. . And then you began eyeing each other's cups (NOT SATISFIED WITH WHAT HAVE)."Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define,nor change the quality of Life we live or impact we make.
Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us. God brews the coffee, not the cups..........
The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.
Friends, Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply.... AND ENJOY THE
COFFEE..
