Like the drop which fills the glass, each day is like a drop filling our glass of life.
The day we are born, the first glorious drop falls into our glass; and the day we part, the glass finally overflows, after finally reaching the top.
Some glasses are miniature, filling and then overflowing in a very short period of time. Others are enormous, filling day after day, year after year. Finally, comes the day when the contents spill over in a spectacular waterfall marking our passing to the other side.
Whatever the case may be, each day fills our glass. While each drop seems to be insignificant, in reality, each is extremely important. Days filled with love and good intention fill our glass with a pure, clear liquid. 
On the contrary, days filled with hate and bad intention add tainted and toxic drops. Perhaps one are two drops may not seem to have much effect, but depending on their toxicity, they can contaminate the rest of the glass.
If we are happy with our glass, and its contents, we need only continue as we are. If not, the good news is we can always throw out the liquid inside, clean the glass, dry it out and begin again.
Those who attempt to “treat” contaminated water by simply adding new good, clean drops, without taking out the bad, generally fail in the attempt. 
Sometimes it is necessary to first eliminate what is toxic before adding what is good.
Can you see how life is like a glass?
Have you thought about the drops in your glass?
Are they clean and clear, or cloudy and toxic?
Are your drops worthy of being remembered and shared or would it be better to empty the glass and begin again?
We are responsible for the drops filling the existence of our being. Our daily actions determine the quality and purity of the liquid in our glass. 
Each drop has the capacity to add or detract value. We can be aware of each drop we add, and in this way increase the quality of our lives.
Our glass will lay testimony to the person we were. The drops of love we distill will be those which later overflow from our glass and become a constant spring of well-being to be remembered by future generations.
How are you doing with your glass of life?
