Mrs. Agathe’s dishwasher quit working so she called a repairman. Since she had to go to work the next day, she told him, “I’ll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I’ll mail you the check. Oh, and by the way…don’t worry about my Doberman. He won’t bother you. But, whatever you do, do NOT under ANY circumstances talk to my parrot!” When the repairman arrived at Mrs. Agathe’s apartment the next day, he discovered the biggest and meanest looking Doberman he had ever seen. But just as she had said, the dog simply laid there on the carpet, watching the repairman go about his business. However, the whole time the parrot drove him nuts with his incessant cursing, yelling and name-calling. Finally the repairman couldn’t contain himself any longer and yelled, “Shut up, you stupid ugly bird!” To which the parrot replied, “Get him, Spike!” So not really on the same topic as your post, but I found this today and I just can’t resist sharing.

Our perception is an interesting thing. It shapes our thoughts, feelings and world. Who cares what the cup looks like, it's whats inside that matters. Learn to live from the inside out, not the outside in. Debra Oakland Love this video. Our perception is an interesting thing. It shapes our thoughts, feelings and world.

It helped me see in a new light the truth that all of us have life within us, possibility, longing, hope, and ability, and that this life is the essentially the same in everyone. I think the point of the story is to see the potential for growth and life to be present in any situation, which I agree with most of the time. I also think that some cups can be leaky! And if the leaks are something we can't fix ourselves, we have the ability and freedom (most of the time) to choose to live our life in "cups" that will allow us to live our best life. I do agree that chronic complaining does little to help anybody. :) What a neat analogy~ Thanks Arlene.
