Making the best of everything........
" The happiest people in the world are not that ones that have the best of everything.....they are the ones who make the best of every situation". Food for thought people! Someone sent me an inspirational video yesterday....i really love them. It was basically about how a professor used cups and coffee as metaphors to teach his students a life lesson!
He asked them to serve themselves coffee as they complained about their lives and careers. Most of them reached first for the most expensive cups and watched each other as they drank. They all wanted coffee and the quality of the cup didnt change the taste of the coffee....it remained the same and he reminded them that all they really wanted was coffee not the cups.
Life is the coffee and the cups are our positions in society, jobs and money. Just because someone has a better positon or more money, or an executive job does not mean their life is more fulfilled than someone with a lower social standing or income. How many people have we admired only to realise their lives are actually a shell? How many famous or rich people have even taken their own lives ? Do not ever compare your life to someone else's. You have no idea what they have been through or what they have to do just to make it through the day! Live your life and be content with whatever you have and do not grumble over what you lack. Do not lust for material things, they will never make you happy.
Lord, help me to make the best out of every situation today. Amen. God bless you all!
