What every religion in history has tried to accomplish…and what they have (and will continue to) failed to do. The question is, “Why?”
Imagine - John Lennon
“Imagine there’s no Heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say that I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say that I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one”

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university lecturer. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.Offering his guests coffee, the lecturer went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups: porcelain, plastic, glass, some plain-looking and some expensive and exquisite, telling them to help themselves to hot coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the lecturer said: “If you noticed, all the nice-looking, expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind 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. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the better cups and are eyeing each other’s cups.”
“Now, if Life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, but the quality of Life doesn’t change. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it.”
So please, don’t let the cups drive you…enjoy the coffee instead.
Being happy does not mean everything is perfect. It means you have decided to see beyond the imperfection.

Ok, that’s awesome right there…
Discuss.
Originally at Educe Me.
Wow, has it really been since March that I’ve posted to my good ole’ personal blog?
Apparently so…
Between writing like a mad dog at The Fun Times Guide to Living Green and Greenopia.com, I guess I’ve just neglected the personal thoughts.
Well what better way back than to dig deep and share with you…Darth Vader and his storm troopers dancing to Thriller:
I’m still not writing much here as I decide upon the direction of this being my personal blog.
I am, however, writing like a mad dog at my other blog, The Fun Times Guide to Living Green. Check it out!
Just wanted to tell everyone that I’m still around here and share with you this picture, in honor of the 1st day of spring arriving this week.
It’s a peep show, get it? lmao! Enjoy.
