THE WISDOM IN HOT CHOCOLATE
A group of graduates, well established in their career, were discussing their lives at a class reunion, they decided to go visit their old university professor,who was a retired one and has always been an inspiration to them..
During their visit, the conversation turned into complaints about stress in their work , lives and relationship.
Offering his guests hot chocolate, the professor went into the kitchen and returned with a large pot of hot chocolate and assortment of cups. Some cups are porcelain, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite. He insisted each to help themselves for the hot chocolate and choose their own cups.
When they all had a cup of chocolate in hand, the professor shared his thoughts..
" Notice that all the nice looking , expensive cuips were taken , leaving 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. The cup that you drinking from adds nothing to the quality of the hot chocolate, it is just expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What each of you really wanted is the hot chocolates and you did not want the cups but you consciously went for the best cups.
Now friends consider this ....
Life is the hot chocolate ........
Your job, money, and position in society are the cups, they are just tools to hold us and contain life. The cups you have does not define nor does it change the quality of life you are living. But sometimes by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the hot chocolate that God has provided us.
Always remember this.
God brews the hot chocolate. He does not choose the cup.
The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything that they have..
LIVE SIMPLY............
LOVE GENEROUSLY...........
CARE DEEPLY...........
SPEAK KINDLY............
The richest person is not the one who had the most but the one who needs the least.....
ENJOY YOUR HOT CHOCOLATE!!!"
