Desire for a cup, not the coffee

-


Once there was a get-together of students and their professors. Everyone one were telling about their stressful life, workload, job. The professor who was listening to it went to kitchen and brought a large pot of coffee and varieties of cups like plain, glass, plastic and some expensive ones. Everyone told to help themselves to the coffee.

 After all students had a cup of coffee in their hands, the professor said: " If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups have been taken up, only the plain and cheap are left behind. It is very normal that we all want only the best for ourselves, but it is also the source of problems and stress.
Our Life is like a coffee and Luxuries are the cups.The type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of life we live.

" The cup itself adds no quality to the coffee."

What we really want is coffee, not the cup, but we unconsciously running for the best cups. And also eyeing each other's .

We all are focusing outside, in impressing others, competing others, which in turn making our life anxious, nerve-racking. We are exhausting in satiation of materialistic or secondary things.
It seems that we all are running a marathon of quenchless desires.
Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee. Quality of coffee is becoming less concerned.

"Stop getting distracted by things and FOCUS on your inner being."

You cannot find peace by avoiding life. All stress, anxiety, depression, is caused when we ignore who we are, and start living to please eyes.
Pay More attention to the life.

 Being happy doesn't mean everything's around you is perfect. It means you have decided to see beyond the imperfections and find peace. And the peace lies within you, not in career, jobs or the houses you have.Choose wisely what you want from life.

Savor the coffee, not the cups!

 Stay Blessed💜💜

If I were a song, I'd be old one

Where I used to sit always I am sitting here on the bench (above) admiring the nature's beauty in the pleasant weather, humming one of my favorite old song. While humming, I realized that everything around me is also singing their kind of song. The first one is my Mom, sitting besides me singing something devotional (smiling) and others are the sound of cold breeze blowing, which helping the leaves of all the trees to play their chirping bass music. Birds all together being a front singers singing their melodies.The Clouds honking from the above as if he applauding the music. This reminds me a very famous quote of Shakespeare "the earth has music for those who listen" MUSIC- It has the power to make us smile, and bring us to all types of tears. It can carry us back in time, and inspire us to dance in the moment.For all our happiest days, there is music. And for all sad days, there is also a music to rescue. The one right song has such a tremendous power...

                                    A re you a leaf, a branch or the roots? There are 3 types of people in our lives. People are in our lives are the part of the trees. They are leaves, branches or the roots. Some people are like leaves of a tree.  When the wind blows with it. When the seasons change, they change.

Happy New Year  My Friends I have learned a lot previous year.... I learned that things don't always turn the way we planned, or the way we think they should. I have learned that there are things that go wrong that don't always get fixed. I have learned that some broken things stay broken and I have learned that you can get through bad times and keep looking for better ones.  No one can go back in time to change what has happened. So work on your present to make yourself a wonderful future. The New year is a great time to pause and reflect. To see what worked and what didn't in the previous year. And an opportunity to make adjustments moving forward. You need to make most of it.  How can you do that? How can you make 2019 a best year ever? Here I want to share few ways based on what I read and working on myself. # Know yourself What kind of person are you?   Are you expressive or introvert?  Are you logical or emotional? Do yo...
