The Essence
You can still be happy when without the fancy stuff, as long as you’ve got the essence of life. That’s what we’re all looking for in the end anyways.

Appreciate the reminder
Focusing on what is import implies that you know what’s important. I need to identify that first. What is my coffee? What is my cup? I’ll work to identify first and then focus more on the coffee than the cup.

My cup is fine
Últimamente he estado comparando mi cuerpo al de otras personas, he estado comparando mis habilidades, mi personalidad solo para verme lo malo, en lo que podría mejorar y concluir que los demás son mejores que yo. He estado viendo el "vaso" de los demás y menospreciando el mío. Esta meditación me dejar ver que quizás lo más importante no es comparar nuestros vasos sino disfrutar este vehículo que poseemos que nos permite experimentar la vida y saborearla.

Great reminder..
It's not the fancy cars, big house that make us happy... It's the essence.... The cup of coffee with all our favorite flavors that's brewed just right that we most enjoy! A great analogy to remember!

Nice to be reminded
I really liked this story It is a nice reminder that it’s what is inside of us that matters, not our “packaging” This is something we all need to remember in this world today.

A cup and coffee
This reminded me of my nephew who went off to Johns Hopkins University to get his education. He came home without a degree and his father was disappointed and his mother was worried. I visited with him a few months ago and was delighted to see he is happy in his job teaching gymnastics to kids.

A reminder of the small things that matter most
I felt the extended appreciation and joy that a food services server showed while providing the services. They displayed the order with eye-pleasing satisfaction. The small things in the presentation represented their personality as going the extra distance in their career choice. Sometimes in life, we overlook the small things that matter most just to impress with bigger and brighter things; while all the time it starts with knowing how well you communicate with people by Giving to others what you expect to receive back in Life.

Peace in the head
It took several times for me to focus and listen to the tape before I found a peaceful place in my mind. I then realized that I had a lot of clustering thoughts that was blocking me from getting to my secret place. I had to acknowledge the present embodiment with a Thank You; regardless if it was good or bad. That when I was able to go to that safe place in the sky swinging on a swing over an ocean. The sound and smell of the rushing waves gave me a sense of peace in my mind and I was able to relax and let go of all the clustering thoughts and distractions. It always aha moment when I am in my secret place of comfort in a mindset of peacefulness.

Simple truth about life
Is that the material things you have are just things. It’s what YOU bring that matters.

It’s What’s Inside the Cup that Counts
The things in life that look the best-like the newest car, the most expensive house, the best clothes mean nothing when compared to the things in life that really matter. The lavish “cups” aka the tangible items that we (or at least I) want in my life and envy in others, are not the things that will make me happy or fulfilled. The things that matter the most can’t be bought or shown. Inner happiness, family and friends, self-assurance, peace of mind, etc. I need to remember these things when I’m forgetting how blessed I am and how much I have to be happy with myself

Realization / (if your worried about school)
I learned that it doesn’t matter what grade you get on a test or the life that your creating for yourself. What matters is that the life you have created for yourself makes you happy. Life is short so what’s the point if you don’t enjoy what you where given
