It's the Coffee

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got
together to visit their old university lecturer.

Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work
and life. Offering his guests coffee, the lecturer went to the kitchen

and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups:
porcelain, plastic, glass, some plain-looking and some expensive
and exquisite, telling them to help themselves to hot coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the lecturer
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 problems and stress.

"What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you

consciously went for the better cups and are eyeing each other�s

cups. Now, if LIFE is coffee, then the jobs, money and position

in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain

LIFE, but the quality of LIFE doesn't change. Sometimes, by

concentrating only on the cup, we fail to

enjoy the coffee in it.�

So don't let the cups drive you ... enjoy the coffee instead.

God, grant me the Serenity to accept the people I cannot change,
the Courage to change the one I can, and the Wisdom to know it's me.

"Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will know what God wants you to do, and you will know how good and pleasing and perfect his will really is."
- Romans 12:2 (NLT)
