Sometimes, we chase for something that is beyond our reach that we fail to see the ones that are directly infront of our eyes. We have always wanted the best, but we never realised that sometimes, what we have now is actually the best for us. We are constantly craving for better prospects but we forget, that life is not about being on top.
Life is like a cup of coffee. Given an assortments of cups; expensive or cheap, plain or exquisite.. we tend to choose what looks beautiful to us, what looks like the best to us. But what difference does those cup makes to the coffee? It simply doesn't change the quality of the coffee. In most cases, the reason is because it's expensive while some cases, it hides what we drink.
What all of us really wanted was the coffee, not the cup. But we consciously went for the best cups, and we eyed others cup, just to see who had the best one.
Life is like the coffee; while the cups are what we own.. money, status, job etc.. They are just tools to hold and contain life. The type of cup we hold does not define nor change the quality of life we live.
Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee. It's all about savoring every sips of the coffee, and not the cups. Likewise, as what we always heard; The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything.
Live simply.
Speak kindly.
Care deeply.
Love generously.
I was drinking coffee by the way. Just random. HAHAHA.
