What is in your cup???

What is in your cup???

I LOVE THIS ANALOGY:

You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere.

Why did you spill the coffee?

"Because someone bumped into me!!!" 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. Therefore, 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 work towards filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation, resilience, positivity; and kindness, gentleness and love for others.

And that doesn't mean, choose a happy nature and ignore everything negative in your life. It means, do the work you need to do, to be able to fill your cup with joy and gratitude. You can never skip to the good bit without first investing in your growth, which often times means going into the pain, to be able to clear it.

Understanding how energy works is the first thing that opened my eyes to this, and set me on the path of healing al my inner wounds.
