Living is Simply with Coffee

Hi! 

So today I received a message from my mom and it was a kind of inspirational video of some sort. For the most part the story was about a group of former students that came to visit there old professor. When they got to the reunion the professor got to listening to how some of the students life turned out after college. Turns out they where complaining about how stressful there lives where and how they couldn't figure out why they where so unhappy although they had pretty good job.

Not to long later the professor goes out to the kitchen gets all his cups of coffee makes a big pot of coffee and lets the former students pick there cups. Once all of them had coffee in hand he asked, why they picked the cups that they had? most of them replying "because it looked nice". 

The teacher replies to the students "well I noticed that you guys picked the cups that look the most expensive and gorgeous." The students kind of murmured among themselves, and he replied "The cups you picked are like your jobs they are high paying and very nice but the reason you have the cups is not for your liking but for the coffee". 

This story Ended-up going into the reason that we have jobs is not because we like it, but because its a tool we use so that life (which is the coffee in the story) can keep moving forward. Once I watch the video I realize then that its not about the money or the security but the will or power to keep moving forward.

Think, think, think!!!! before you take that job or advise someone to buy that huge house. The reason for living is more than just the expensive cup, but the will too keep moving and enjoying the time that we have with your friends, family, love ones and sometimes even colleagues.

Thank you,
