If we are like carrots, we act tough enough but when challenges of life come we soften and we wilt and are unable to stand up for ourselves anymore !!!
If we are like an egg, as we confront challenges we get hard on the inside, we can become calloused, even bitter and are unable or unwilling to allow ourselves to feel and connect with people. !!!
TRUE LEADERS are like coffee. When put into a situation or confronted by the challenges of life they actually change the situation… WOW what an influencer!
Have you been a carrot egg or coffee? To be perfectly honest we have probably all been at one stage in our lives. My desire is to be like coffee. We can have an aroma that makes a difference anywhere… and be that connecter and influencer for change….
Over these past weeks it’s been a struggle to not become the victim to our circumstances, maybe I was the carrot for a few days…. However I am not allowing this to deter me from being the coffee in our community and business..and family….
What are you today??? Carrot, Egg or Coffee
Please share…..
Make it a terrific day

Kaye,
I always enjoyed this part of Brian’s book. Such a simple analogy that speaks volumes about you as a person. I can honestly say I have been all three at different times in my life.Being coffee is the one I aspire to become through awareness and thought. Thanks so much for reminding me of this,
Val

His analogy here is really quite powerful as being coffee is really being fragrance where ever we go… Thanks again for you wonderful comments and value you bring to our community Take care Kaye

Aloha Kaye,
I love that story! Thank you for the reminder.
We have all been all 3 haven’t we. I believe for many years I was definitely the egg, not in touch with my feelings and just thinking it was okay. Through my home business and having time to really reflect, I am happy to say I am the coffee today.Thank you so much for sharing Kaye!
Aloha,
Kellie

I’ll have a double latte! I really liked the analogy you used ..fun. We do tend to blend into all types depending upon circumstances, but I believe we have the power to become more ‘caffeinated’ with practice. Thank you Kaye for the re-minder.
Your friend, Kim
