Choose Your Ingredients

Wisely

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 10 months ago 1 min read
A nice cup of tea

“Life is like a cup of tea.

It’s all in how you make it”

We choose the kind of cup of tea

that we like

according to the taste.

Our Lives are the same.

We choose

what kind of Life we want

according to its outcome

and how we ‘want’ to Live.

Just like the ingredients we choose

and the way we brew

our cup of tea,

our Lives are no different.

What we put into our Lives

and how we use these things

will ‘create’

a certain type of Life

for ourselves.

Who and what

we ‘allow’ into our Lives

will give us our ‘taste’ in Life.

We know

that certain ingredients

will give us

a certain cup of tea.

What we put into our Lives

will give us a certain ‘type’ of Life.

What are these ‘ingredients’?

Positivity

Gratitude

Kindness

Joy

Determination

And like we can really Enjoy that cup of tea,

so

we can really Enjoy our Lives,

adding Happiness to our ingredients.

And like we look Forward

to a nice cup of tea,

so we look Forward

to each day of our Lives.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
