You're holding coffee when someone bumps into you, making you spill coffee everywhere. Why did you spill the coffee? "Because someone bumped into you!" Wrong answer. You spilled the 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. So, 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, gratitude, peace and humility? Anger, bitterness, victim mentality and quitting-tendencies? Life provides the cup, YOU choose how to fill it. Today let's fill our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation, resilience, positivity; and kindness, gentleness and love for others!
