#900 It's What's Inside that Counts

The brilliant Dr. Rob Gilbert recently found this and read it on his Success Hotline. I immediately grabbed my Otter app and transcribed Rob's reading for you here. Rob doesn't know who authored this and, after a cursory Google search, neither do I, but it is brilliant.

You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and shoves you or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere. Why did you spill the coffee?*

"Well, because someone bumped into me, of course!"

Wrong answer.

You spilled the coffee because coffee was in the cup.

If tea had been in it, you would have spilled tea.

Whatever is inside the cup is what will come out.

Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you (which will happen), whatever is inside of 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, gratefulness, peace, and humility?

Or anger, bitterness, harsh words, and actions?

*You choose!*

“You have to ask yourself...What’s in my cup? When Life bumps you, what spills over?”

Success Hotline is a fantastic service that Dr. Gilbert offers free. You call (973) 743-4650 anytime day or night, and you will hear a 3-minute motivational message. Rob has recorded a new message EVERYDAY FOR ABOUT 28 YEARS. I've been tuned in for at least 27 years, and he never fails to inspire me. I begin most days with a call to Success Hotline, and I highly recommend you do the same.
