Living Like A Cup of Tea

Living Like A Cup of Tea
Enjoying a cup of hot tea in the morning or late afternoon, while relaxing for a moment, is simply a fun activity. The tradition of drinking tea, in some countries become a meaningful activity, associated with the values of life that they trust. Tea leaves, hot water, and gather together to drink tea, no longer simply enjoy the time or eat a meal, the procession contains more value than just an activity.
Another value that I found interesting about the tea is, how it can also be used to describe the circumstances of our lives. Tea bags, can remove the core of tea, brewed only when hot water. The essence of tea stored in a dry tea leaves were forced out when it meets with hot water and continue to issue the proper color and flavor when repeatedly dipped in hot water. You know, there will be no tea produced with cold water.
Similar to us, when life takes us in difficult and challenging circumstances, the core of our potential "forced" out and produce something. We will change the color and flavor on the container in which we live life after undergoing a process of "brewing" 'with hot water, stirred, rotated many times, and dipped repeatedly. Our being surrounded by "steeping hot water" challenge, just so that we produce something better, change the situation, find a privilege in us, and useful for many people.
The problem is, not many people realize that, brewing process that brings us to the attainment of a higher level than before. More people choose refused difficult circumstances, give in to circumstances and conditions, as well as choose a convenient instant, without risk, and the freeway. Then, choose the "tea box." They like to stay silent, stable, and "cooled" in the "refrigerator" comfort.
Our lives can not be stopped because of a state or condition that is uncomfortable. We need to keep moving to follow the process of formation, to produce a maximum life: Tough, True, Hold Test, Quality. The problem is going to drain the mind, energy and our emotions. However, in some cases, the problem of making our lives maximum. Conversely, the comfort will be a killer kemaksimalan us. Living in a state all-round comfortable making those tied to the circumstances and habits so quickly, barrier-free and "all can be arranged." Actually, "test one's character is how he handles adversity of life."-Wayne Cheng.
Honest and Value of Honesty
Character is not born in a day. The decisions that we take every day, through a process of absorption of the values that we profess, resulting in actions that reflect our true character. Consciously or unconsciously, every time life asks us to react on something, that's where the core radiated real value of our life.
Character is not inherited, but one achievement that was built through the efforts of thought and action repair, little by little, and constantly. Remember! Character is about how you really are, not just who you really are. The first character is a character owned Honesty is important. The value of honesty is important because it brings us the essence of the success of maintaining spirituality and emotional connectivity, both to God and neighbor, a sari meaning of life. Honesty is the foundation of building good character.
Being honest is not easy, especially to himself. There is so much denial that one can do every day on their own circumstances. In fact, although not seem fun and lucky circumstances it would bring change and increase the value of life if we can accept it and through the process, as difficult as anything. Dissatisfaction is the main reason why someone denies the real situation, and not true to himself.
The first thing to practice honesty is the Self-Acceptance, accepting the state itself as it is. When a person is able to accept herself, life and circumstances, she really can overcome the difficult situation much better. When the value of honesty in him to grow accustomed to, he would not have difficulty applying it in social life. Accepting the situation as it is, is the base of someone heading for a mental maturing process, in which he can manage intelligently the circumstances, and able to overcome their limitations to be able to perform sticking (stand-out) than most people generally.
The next thing is get honesty (take honesty as habit). No big lie or a small lie, lie forced or lie for the good, although used for various reasons with various terms. No honest is the denial of truth. Usually, lies one followed by another lie, to cover the first, and so on. No one benefited from the lies.
Learn to be honest with yourself, even if others do not see it. Probity awake when we maintain honesty in life. Familiarize honesty, make us grow to live now and later. A clean heart open clear mind, clear the way, inspiring other merits, mature faith and to produce works worthy of praise. As water reflects our faces, as well as the heart of who exactly we are.
Discover the privilege of self by being honest. Practice, make it a habit, and share the habit. You will not become proficient in overnight, but daily life honestly take you to a more advanced level: a life process that produces the best quality about you.
It's up to you, select the "tea bag" or "tea box"?
