Speaker 0 (0s): Welcome 

Speaker 1 (16s): Wednesday. Hello with your buddy. How are you feeling out there? Did you wake up this morning and look in the mirror and say something like, man, you're a good looking. You're a good looking son of a gun. Did you ever do you wake up and you're looking to a mirror in your life, your hands know your handsome, you know, your hands. And I know you're a handsome, ah, I like to do this sometimes. Is that weird? Probably, but you know what? I love it. You should try it. 

It's awesome for the ladies' you might want to go with beautiful because you know, you can be handsome, but I prefer my women. Beautiful. Well, I hope that you guys are having a great day. I thought I start off today with a little bit of a story. Once upon a time, a daughter complained to her father that her life was miserable and that she didn't know how she was going to make it. She was tired of fighting and struggling all the time. It seemed just as one problem was solved. 

Another one soon followed her father. A chef took her into the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Once the three pots began to boil, he plays potatoes and one in the second and ground coffee beans in the third, he then let them sit and boil without saying a word to his daughter, the daughter moaned and impatiently waited. 

Wondering what the heck she was doing. After 20 minutes, he turned off the burners. He took the potatoes out of the pot, placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. He then ladled the coffee out and placed it in a cup, turning to his daughter. He asked daughter, what do you see? The daughter replied, potatoes, eggs and coffee for a hastily look closer. 

He said and touch the potatoes she did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed be hard boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. It's rich aroma brought a smile on her face. Father. What, what does this all mean? She asked, he then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and coffee beans had each faced the same adversity, the boiling water. 

However, each one reacted differently. The potato went in strong, hard and unrelenting, but in boiling water, it became soft and weak. The egg was fragile with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid interior until it was put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the egg became hard. However, the ground coffee beans, where unique after they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new. 

Which one are you? He asked his daughter pretty interesting, right? When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Or are you a potato and EG or a coffee bean? You think the moral of this story is that in life things happen around us. Things happen to us. But the only thing that truly matters is how you choose to react to it. And what you make out of it, life is all about learning, adopting, and converting all the struggles that we experience into something positive to some of the best advice I ever got was that in life you can not control what happens to you, but you and you alone gets to control the meaning of that event. 

So think about that for a moment. I think it can change the way you are
