You are holding a cup of coffee when someone
comes along and bumps into you or shakes
your arm, making you spill your coffee
everywhere.
Why did you spill coffee?
"Because someone bumped into me!!"
Wrong answer.
You spilled coffee because there was coffee in your cup.
Had there been tea in the cup, you would have
spilled tea.
"Whatever is inside the cup is what will spill
out."
Therefor, when life comes along and shakes
you (which WILL happen), whatever is inside you
will come out. It's easy to fake it, until you
get rattled.
*So we have to ask ourselves..."what's in my
cup?'*
When life gets tough, what spills over?
Joy, gratefulness, peace and humility?
Anger, bitterness, harsh words and reactions?
Life provides the cup. YOU choose how to fill it.
Today lets work toward filling our cups with
gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation;
and kindness, gentleness and love for others.

and inspiration)
