When a professor served coffee to his former students who complained to him of stress in their working lives, he brought out an assortment of cups- porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, others exquisite.
After the students selected a cup of coffee the professor said, "All the nice looking cups have been taken up, leaving behind the plain ones.I can assure you that the cup itself add no quality to the coffee. What you wanted was coffee, not the cup. But you consciously went for the best cup and began eyeing each other's cup. While it is normal to want only the best for yourselves, but that is the source for your problems and stress. Sometimes by concerntrating only on the things like the cup, we fail to enjoy the goodness God has provided for us."
The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.
