LOVE THIS ANALOGY
You're holding a cup of coffee and someone accidentally bumps into you, causing it to spill everywhere.
Why did you spill the coffee?
"Because someone bumped into me."
You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup. If there had been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea.
Whatever is inside the cup is what will spill out.
So, when life shakes you up, whatever is inside you will come out.
It's easy to pretend everything's fine until you're shaken.
So, we have to ask ourselves, "What's in my cup?"
When life gets tough, what spills over? Joy? Gratitude? Peace? Humility? Anger? Bitterness? A victim mentality? A tendency to quit?
Remeber LIFE gives you the cup; YOU choose what to fill it with.
Your life is a cup
that you fill with your own choosing
it may be a hot brew
or a bitter swill you obsess on as you are losing
If someone accidentally bumps into you
as they cross your path
what spills over and out of you
kindness or is it wrath?
It's your choice
your life is yours
no one made you
girls and boys
It's not pretend
You only have one life
and in the end no one gets out alive
Own your own feelings
own your experience
set your own goals
and work it till the end
Others can assist with guidance
but your life is up to you
You need to master the tools
that will allow you to follow through
You manifest what you obsess on
so if its defeat you concentrate on
Energy draws to where intenion is set
and it's perfectly natural too
So put your head, heart and feet
on the path to what you want
and leave behind that which no longer serves
And that is the way you will get what you deserve
So fill your cup of life
with what you want to spill out
what do you want to be about
to be known for in the end
It's not pretend
You only have one life
and in the end no one gets out alive
But you do leave a legacy behind
