Book Of Likes Faces

My Great Grandmother's words of wisdom to live by: You are going to grow up wondering where your life went if you think about the past. People are going to leave. Some through the door, some through death. Always be okay with yourself before your okay with anybody else. Be respected and not feared. Old relationships are always a lesson to the new ones. God will never give you more than you can handle. #grandmalife

You are holding a cup of coffee when somebody comes along and bumps into you or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere. Why did you spill the coffee? "Because somebody 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, 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, Only you yourself will choose how to fill it. Let's work towards filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation, resilience, positivity; and kindness, gentleness and love for others.
