Lessons On Life From Tea

I like tea. Or at least herbal tea (I'd get wired if I drank "regular" tea.) And I especially like a brand of tea called Yogi Tea (the website is pretty fun!). So anyway, another great thing about this Yogi Tea is that at the end of the string that's hooked to the bag, there's a small piece of paper with a note on it. They're cool yogi sayings like, "Grace is the most effective tool. It will bring you love, appreciation, and prosperity" or "Do or do not. There is no try" (okay, that's a Yoda saying, but it's still cool.)

So I was drinking a cup of Meditative Time tea and the saying attached to the end of the bag was, "Your greatness is not what you have, it's what you give." How simple and profound, huh? We all learn to give to others. We've all been told that service and giving makes you happy (I'm not saying it doesn't!) But it's an interesting, fun experience to see how sometimes small things can hit you like a ton of bricks (which would REALLY hurt!)

 

To tea!
