I love listening to this over and over. It calms me when I feel that no one is listening to what I have to say when I am showing concern and care to people who are dealing with the addiction of alcoholism and for those who have spouses or friends dealing with it as well. My heart is heavy tonight and it was so wonderful to see the words over and over and the music is wonderful! Thank you for this...I feel alot better! xxx
So so true! And here's a lift of the cup to a coffee grower who grows the best and gives away fine cups too! Very wise professor in this video! Beautiful, too.
Contentment in life and being thankful in every blessings we are receiving everyday small or big is what makes us to live peacefully and happy...Count our blessings everyday rather than complain...There is always so much to thank for...
All my life, I have been living a very simple life. I had my moments when I was able to hold a good career, earn good income but got lost in the middle of all the wealth. In time, I lost everything and learned that being simple is where you find peace and quiet, in harmony with yourself. Life is full of obstacles and we may never know what lies ahead. But in the end finding peace is what counts the most.
This hits the very core of my heart. I frequently pray for less - less of everything. Less stress, less stuff, less anger, less confusion, less conflict, less pain.... and God rewards me with more - more love, move insight, more peace, more patience, more joy, more life.......... Thank you for saying it so well!
Just yesterday my husband and I were talking about our life. Forced to be simple due to lack of "fun tickets." He was feeling down about it. I said, it might be nice to travel here and there, but truthfully when you're on your deathbed I highly doubt that you will express angst over not having seen x or x. You'll want to see the eyes of those you love, as much as possible before you leave this world, not a place. Love is all there is. Plain and simple. Peace, love & blessings everyone!
This video is really inspirational. There are times human beings are so blinded by chasing over material satisfaction such as money and forget about what life is truly about. This video really serves as a reminder for us to live life to its fullest, putting aside the chase for the redundance that we think we need to live a quality life.
I woke up this morning to redo a paper I did for college that wasnt very good and found this video in my messages - what a difference it has made in how I view my life! Even though I already knew the message (in my heart) it is always good to hear it from 10,000 other people who agree "keeping it simple" is where life truly begins. A lovely reminder for on a "Black Friday!" Happy Holidays UTube!
love the message. it is so true! many of us want the best for ourselves instead of only having what we need and being grateful for it and we should spend more time and money to help others.
Wow. Being a person who has come from a humble background. I find myself always struggling with trying to have more and do better at everything, As I have progressed through my carrer I continue to want more but I continue to be less fulfilled. I am so glad I found this video. I truly made me see things in a new light. Thank You for the great video!
This is very beautiful!! Life is what you make it!!! I am slowly learning daily how to be a better person, helping people, doing better things for the world and the enviroment!!! Its up to us to make the difference, and like a wise man said, tommorrow never comes!!!
i think this video awakens few people who jst gives preference to the cup rather than giving the preference to the coffee in it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, THIS IS REALLY AMAZING VIDEO
its always nice to see a video like this, i feel like shit right now but this has lifted me up a little because i know its true, i dont have a lot, i was a student, did bad in college, now i have no job, i live with my mum, shes ill, my dad... well hes always been a rubbish dad, hes never done anything to help any of us, no girlfriend, hardly any friends and i feel like im stuck in one shitty place that i cant get out of.
One of my best friends said that she is having a tough time accepting people below her social status (she is from a wealthy family). I translated this to our native language and sent her these words, because she doesn't speak English. I hope this will help her appreciate all people, regardless of their materialistic statuses, skin color, life tastes... What a wonderful video.
Reminds me of a quote from one of my favorite books: "Things around us―houses, jobs, cars―they're props, they're settings for our love. The things we own, the places we live, the events of our lives: empty settings. How easy to chase after settings, and forget diamonds! The only thing that matters, at the end of a stay on earth, is how well did we love, what was the quality of our love?" The Bridge Across Forever Richard Bach
Very true..how much do we really need..contentment is beauty,it free you from a daily stress..the more hours we work, the more money we spend..its all about balancing..live by your own means..but as people sometimes we dug our own grave!
I just found out my mom is going to die of terminal cancer the doctors have told her there is nothing more they can do. I have been looking for something that sums up life as we know it. After watching this video I can honestly say it has all come together now. and makes things much more clear.
Truly a wonderful write that stabilizes mood Making an individual to be wise and shrewd Ambitious people are to themselves crude And after a certain stage, they really brood Better to preserve life with holy contentment That helps one easily face disappointment If "enough-attitude" gets not our employment Happiness will never give us an appointment.
what a very inspirational message,.... i don't want to think the people who were disliked this video, they didin't value life only the material things in this world.... remember, LIFE is the best gift we have given by GOD, enjoy it and live to the fullest:'))
Yes this video is very inspiring, and it is so true....We need to enjoy life and not look at what we don't have, but enjoy what we DO have. Life flies by so fast, and before you know it, your old and you've spent the best years of your life complaining and being miserable and depressed. Find something in life that brings you joy, and if you can't find any joy, go out and create some joy for someone else, and stop feeling sorry for yourself. Life is waaaaaaay tooo short.
Great message here, for those who "got it". I passed it along to my "friends" on Facebook as I believe it holds an important message for us all to remember!
WOW! I've heard this expression on many different occasions, but i've never really understood it until now. I feel like it was meant for me because that's the outlook I have on my life. My day consist of many obstacles, and I struggle everyday just to maintain, but i strive to be the best at everything I do,even though i fall short sometimes and get discouraged.
Thanks so much! It's an excellent story. I think knowledge is also like a cup of coffee. Sometimes your teachers are very bad, but don't worry! They're only cups. Enjoy coffee, enjoy knowledge!
Amazing..all true..focus on the coffee not the cup..lets taste our life with joys and happiness...appreciate jolvy for this link..cheers always.. life goes on....
I LOVE this video. The words are so true and beautiful!!! The music really complements the words. This video is a keeper. Good to have to remind us of what is really important in life!
WOW! That was so inspirational...I want to start my 2011 with those inspiring words every day: Live Simply, Speak Kindly, Care Deeply & Love Generously. God Bless you for sharing.
Really liked this video and the message about enjoying the now and forgetting about accumulating wealth as your primary source of happiness. Well done.
Awesome story. So very true. I learnt this lesson by losing pretty well everything I held close to me. Remember it's not the destination but the journey that makes it worth while.
.watching this video my wife and our more than 2 year old daughter are happily prepairing food from what was left from my small salary( and we must make it reach three days)...almost everyday i am complaining why it seems life is not fair to us ..now as my little daughter and wife enjoy preparing our food ....and once in a while my daughter will tell us ...daddy mommy i love you so much ..in our native tongue...watching this video made me realized i have so much in life
The concept is indeed very noble and remarkable He who follows this advice will be really capable For one's happiness, one is solely responsible So his attitude and outlook must be sensible All are admonished to avoid jealousy in policy All must just enjoy what they have, feeling easy One must not lose true bliss by being choosy This clip is rosy as it stops life turning messy.
It says about complaints of life, after making particular choices, whatever the cup you choose, its your choice, after choosing, you should not regret it or complain about it. Contentment does not work like stumbling block, but it works like a catalyst to grow further
i like this much, ever, i already share this one to my friends and classmates, they even also appreciate this one,, thank you so much for the person who made this one, it also allow my tears to fall, when i use to share this with my students.. --- Graciass!!!!
Our dispositions in life will show in our needs and satisfactions depending on how we apply and use these. Living in this world is so wonderful and meaningful that's the reason why we are here. Concrete things and our concepts in life provide a purposeful and valuable experiences that can change and improve in our daily lives. Live your life to the fullest.
I love listening to this over and over. It calms me when I feel that no one is listening to what I have to say when I am showing concern and care to people who are dealing with the addiction of alcoholism and for those who have spouses or friends dealing with it as well.

So so true! And here's a lift of the cup to a coffee grower who grows the best and gives away fine cups too! Very wise professor in this video! Beautiful, too.
This message is so sorely needed in today's materialistic world.
"the happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best for everything"
love it so much!!!!!
Life is like a cup of coffee you never know what kind of cup your gonna get ? Just make the most with the one you have !
Contentment in life and being thankful in every blessings we are receiving everyday small or big is what makes us to live peacefully and happy...Count our blessings everyday rather than complain...There is always so much to thank for...
Life is beautiful
All my life, I have been living a very simple life. I had my moments when I was able to hold a good career, earn good income but got lost in the middle of all the wealth. In time, I lost everything and learned that being simple is where you find peace and quiet, in harmony with yourself. Life is full of obstacles and we may never know what lies ahead. But in the end finding peace is what counts the most.
just loved it!! LIFE IS LIKE A CUP OF COFEE.....beautiful message!!
The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything.
I have been watched it for 5 years
Thankyou to "unknown" who made it. It's been 10 years watching this video, and still relevant to be reminder.
Nice video.a must watch!!!!!!
I have watched this video so many times over the past.. well almost decade!!! Thank you for this message!
You're welcome - I am so honored! And I am grateful to be of service :)
but we are not provided with enough coffee, there is a constant need to refill daily(ie food) in order to get that I actually need a better cup.
This hits the very core of my heart. I frequently pray for less - less of everything. Less stress, less stuff, less anger, less confusion, less conflict, less pain.... and God rewards me with more - more love, move insight, more peace, more patience, more joy, more life.......... Thank you for saying it so well!
Luv de music...and de words are so beautiful :)
yes, the word is true.. :)
love this word

VERY INSPIRING///
Is not about what you have or how you get it..is about how you live and give to others...Amen!
2019 anyone?

Its been 9 years since this video was uploaded.. And yet no one can tell the title of the song..
Awesome
Who gave the money for taking the time to create?
True.
Make that 12 years
Can't believe some people "dislike" this video.... It's like disliking a flower. That video is amazing !!
I cried tears of realization and joy! I don't have much, but I have my life, dreams, & love, and I'll be damned if I don't savor every minute of it!

Strong, powerful, strength!! Music brings life to a higher level!!!! It's not about wanting, it's about achieveing!!!
In life, you don't always have to do the best, you just have to do what makes you happy
love the message. it is so true! many of us want the best for ourselves instead of only having what we need and being grateful for it and we should spend more time and money to help others.

Life is about simple pleasures. Simple pleasures = less stress. We live in an amazing world if you stop and notice.

Beautiful and truthful...... inside is all that matters, not what is on the outside.

Truly a wonderful write that stabilizes mood
Making an individual to be wise and shrewd
Ambitious people are to themselves crude
And after a certain stage, they really brood
Better to preserve life with holy contentment
That helps one easily face disappointment
If "enough-attitude" gets not our employment
Happiness will never give us an appointment.
Found this his fascinating and brilliant. Should be watched in everyone's staff room
I'm with Mickey on this one...thanks you God and thank all of you for enriching my life today
this is true for most of us.......learn yo live a life that is simply and you'll find true happiness.....life is what we make it....
what a very inspirational message,.... i don't want to think the people who were disliked this video, they didin't value life only the material things in this world.... remember, LIFE is the best gift we have given by GOD, enjoy it and live to the fullest:'))

Very beautiful video and cup of coffee ... and now I'm craving for a cup of the stuff.
Thanks for reminding me how great life and coffee is!
wow . . simple truths easily forgotten today.
a very simple yet powerful message.

3 minutes of life well spent watching a simply brilliant Video and a fantastic soundtrack to match. Thanks for this!
WOW! I've heard this expression on many different occasions, but i've never really understood it until now. I feel like it was meant for me because that's the outlook I have on my life.

Wow! That brought me back to the present moment. Thanks for sharing this message.
this is really inspiring. we even had a devotion and pondered upon this during our faculty meeting. worth sharing!
Thanks so much! It's an excellent story.
I think knowledge is also like a cup of coffee. Sometimes your teachers are very bad, but don't worry! They're only cups. Enjoy coffee, enjoy knowledge!
Amazing..all true..focus on the coffee
not the cup..lets taste our life with
joys and happiness...appreciate
jolvy for this link..cheers always..
life goes on....
How true this statement is.I can testifies on my self some times I'm so tied up in trying to succeed. i forget to just enjoy life.
I LOVE this video. The words are so true and beautiful!!! The music really complements the words. This video is a keeper. Good to have to remind us of what is really important in life!
WOW! That was so inspirational...I want to start my 2011 with those inspiring words every day: Live Simply, Speak Kindly, Care Deeply & Love Generously. God Bless you for sharing.
loved it, I just wished more people realize how true this is, before it is too late for them.
Really liked this video and the message about enjoying the now and forgetting about accumulating wealth as your primary source of happiness. Well done.
Thank you for making a video such as this. So true and the message was delivered in the most unique fashion.
the happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything.. nice.. :)
I'm so glad to have stumbled unto this video.. It made me realize a lot more about life and made me feel Joy and Happiness!!
So true...we keep looking for more that we miss enjoying our life.
totally agree with the video
sometimes we forget that life is what is important
thanks for posting
Awesome story. So very true. I learnt this lesson by losing pretty well everything I held close to me. Remember it's not the destination but the journey that makes it worth while.
I used this as a segment in one of my recent lectures. It was extremely well-recieved and has a great message.
هل انت عايش لحد الان 😅
.watching this video my wife and our more than 2 year old daughter are happily prepairing food from what was left from my small salary( and we must make it reach three days)...almost everyday i am complaining why it seems life is not fair to us ..now as my little daughter and wife enjoy preparing our food ....and once in a while my daughter will tell us ...daddy mommy i love you so much ..in our native tongue...watching this video made me realized i have so much in life
Awesome Awesome Awesome .. Thank you you made this to share all of us !
This is amazing and so simple! Live your life to the fullest, each and every day!
I hope and pray that you all out there practice what you preach
I finally found it! I remember watching this video in 2011! Thank you so much!
what a beautiful and poignant story! .... lest we forget! Thank you for sharing
The concept is indeed very noble and remarkable
He who follows this advice will be really capable
For one's happiness, one is solely responsible
So his attitude and outlook must be sensible
All are admonished to avoid jealousy in policy
All must just enjoy what they have, feeling easy
One must not lose true bliss by being choosy
This clip is rosy as it stops life turning messy.
highly inspiring video. Sometimes we do get lost in life. Such convincing videos make us understand and direct us towards reality. Thanks.
A most excellent short about the true meaning of life
Very true. Very well said. Very simple. And very inspirational.
It says about complaints of life, after making particular choices, whatever the cup you choose, its your choice, after choosing, you should not regret it or complain about it. Contentment does not work like stumbling block, but it works like a catalyst to grow further
Great Story, I'm going try and focus on the good stuff of life and not just the superficial. Thanks for the inspiration...
This is one of the best videos and messages that I have ever seen - awesome, awesome - adding this one to my favorites
I posted this on my face book a while back and everyone loved it. Great video!!!
An awesome and oh-so-true message. Thank you for the reminders.
This isn't about you being rich or poor. The message here is contentment in life. Money, Fame and etc fades but not true happiness and satisfaction.
Sometimes in life we just have to enjoy the little things. Happiness is a choice.
i like this much, ever, i already share this one to my friends and classmates, they even also appreciate this one,, thank you so much for the person who made this one, it also allow my tears to fall, when i use to share this with my students.. --- Graciass!!!!
I've been searching for some inspirational thoughts... and this one really touches me... thanks to the author...
this video does not need any comment,its just marvelous
Our dispositions in life will show in our needs and satisfactions depending on how we apply and use these. Living in this world is so wonderful and meaningful that's the reason why we are here.
