Hot Chocolate


A group of graduates, well established in their careers, were talking at
a reunion and decided to go visit their old university professor, now
retired. During their visit, the conversation turned to complaints
about stress in their work and lives.

Offering his guests hot chocolate, the professor went into the kitchen
and returned with a large pot of hot chocolate and an assortment of
cups... porcelain, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive,
some exquisite ...telling them to help themselves to the hot
chocolate.

When they all had a cup of hot chocolate in hand, the professor said:

"Notice that all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken, 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. The cup that you're drinking from adds nothing to the quality
of the hot chocolate. In most cases it is just more expensive and in
some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted
was hot chocolate, not the cup; but you consciously went for the best
cups... and then you began eying each others cups.

Now consider this: Life is the hot chocolate; your job, money and
position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and
contain life. The cup you have does not define, nor change the
quality of your life. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup,
we fail to enjoy the hot chocolate God has provided us.

God makes the hot chocolate, man chooses the cups. The happiest
people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of
everything that they have.

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. And
enjoy your hot chocolate.
