Be the coffee bean

Greg Sill lived to be the coffee bean. What does this mean? There is a metaphor for life in which the challenges we face are represented by pots of boiling water. We can act as either the carrot, the egg, or the coffee bean.

The carrot goes into the pot strong, but once it sits in the boiling water, it softens and grows weak. The egg enters with a hard shell and a soft heart. This fragile egg soon becomes tough and rougher on the inside once it faces the boiling water. The coffee bean, however, is able to change its environment. The coffee bean spreads its strong flavor and turns the water into a pot of coffee.

When life throws us in a pot of boiling water, we have the opportunity to change the environment around us, better our situation, and spread love and positivity.
