Carrot, Egg or Coffee Bean? 🥕🥚🫘
Which one are you?
There was a woman who was complaining to her mother about her challenges, difficulties and problems in life. She felt overwhelmed by the challenges and the stress she encountered daily. She asked her mother how she should respond to these challenges.
Her mother took her to the kitchen and boiled 3 pots of water. In the first pot, she put the carrot, on the second, she put the egg, on the third, she put the coffee bean.
After a while, she turned off the stove, took out the coffee bean, carrot, and egg, and asked her daughter to touch and observe them.
The carrot had become soft and mushy. The egg had become hard-boiled. The coffee bean had changed the water into a fragrant, rich coffee.
The mother explained, in life, when we experience any adversity, challenges or problems, we can be any of the 3 things:
1. Carrot
2. Egg
3. Coffee Bean
When the Carrot is boiled, from hard, it transformed to become weak, soft and mushy.
When the Egg is boiled, from soft egg yolk and egg white, it become solid and hardened.
When the Coffee Bean is boiled, it give an amazing enriching aroma that most people would want to have everyday!
All these objects were in the same situation - boiled in the pot of water. All three were put to the same test or adversity. But they reacted differently!
In life, we can react like an egg, carrot or coffee!
Better, we become coffee bean that converts the challenges and problems to create something positive and transformative.
Be the Coffee Bean!
