Life is Like a Cup of Coffee

Life is Like a
Cup of Coffee

A group of alumni got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups.

Porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite.

He told his guests to help themselves to the coffee.

After everyone had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups have been 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.

Be assured that the cup adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive, and in some cases even hides what we drink.

What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup.

But you consciously went for the best cups… and then you began eyeing each other's cups to see who had the best one.

Now consider this…

Life is like the coffee… the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life…. but the type of cup we have does not define nor change the quality of life we live.

Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee.

Savor the coffee…. Not the cups.

The happiest people don't have the best of everything…
They just make the best of everything.

Live Simply.

Speak Kindly.

Care Deeply.

Love Generously.

Life is like a Cup of Coffee!

Choosing Your Path of Life. This book is simply, about enhancing your quality of life. For each phase of life you enter, the quality of your life should strengthen, not weaken. It should increase, not decrease. It should expand the positive features and attributes of your life, not shrink or contract them.
This book is about helping everyone find the path to a better Quality of Life. We, at TeenSoulPower, want to help you to identify what makes a happy and healthy life. More importantly, we want to help you to make a fulfilling life. Most of us think we know how to do this, but the truth is that if you do not know how then your life is in free-float. It is moving ahead - but may not be making any progress, it may be aimless, drifting, with neither rhyme nor reason, with neither purpose nor goals, set adrift and vulnerable to the whims of fate. Available at Smashwords: $1.99.

The Marijuana Highway: A MUST READ for ALL Parents and Teens! The premise of "The Marijuana Highway" is that marijuana is a powerful, toxic and addictive psychoactive drug.
The Team at TeenSoulPower has reviewed - literally - hundreds of articles and studies on marijuana. Not one study was found that even hints that marijuana is a protective factor for positive youth development. Not one study was found that states that marijuana use supports healthy families. Not one study was found that concludes that marijuana use builds strong communities. Not one study was found that has proven that marijuana is a safe drug. In fact, overwhelmingly, the findings are exactly the opposite in all four cases. Everyone wants a happy and healthy life. Many have found, though, that the quality of life they wanted never materialized, simply because a friend said “Try this, it won’t hurt you." Available at Smashwords: $1.99.

Sex and the Single Teen: Sex has become a "distraction of life." The goal of this book is to refute the social pressures to rush into sexual relationships. It is to negate the hype and illusions of sex, and to explore and provide a rationale that strengthens resolve to wait - to wait until the time, the circumstances, the emotions, the psychology and the spiritual factors are all aligned. It is to help you avoid the "Sex Trap." Sex is a life choice. As with all choices it can be positive - but it can be very, very damaging. The material is as significant and critical as any other issue or topic can possibly be.

Available at Smashwords. $1.99.

Alcohol,Drugs and Teens: The purpose of this book is to help people improve the quality of their lives by avoiding one of the greatest health problems: drug abuse. Addiction is the #1 Health Problem in America, and 9-out-of-10 addicts began using alcohol or drugs before age 18. Not one teen ever said, "When I grow up I want to be an addict." Addiction is definitely a process of morbidity, of making people sick. It is definitely a disease. It affects mind, body, emotion and soul. And addiction always begins with simple use. If one never smokes one does not develop addiction to nicotine. It is the act of using a substance that potentiates the addiction potential.
This book spells out the nature and problems of drugs and recommends prevention as the best medicine.
