Life is like picking coffee cherries. You should pick only the ripe ones, which is always red. Leave the green and yellowish ones and wait for it to ripen. Throw the brown, overripe ones because they are no longer good.
In life, we should also pick the red ones - the present. Enjoy the situations when it is ripe. Savor every moment we spend because we can never put it back. Live for today and enjoy today.
The green cherries are like the future. We should wait for it patiently. Wait as that green cherry slowly ripens, until the day that it is ready for harvest. When we rush to pick it sooner, we cannot enjoy the best taste that it can offer. Life is like that. When we rush to see what's in store for the future, when we shorten our waiting period by not undergoing the right processes, we tend to end up in the wrong situation, full of regrets.
The brown and maroon cherries are like the past. What is done is done, and we can never get back there. Just throw it away. Leave the past in our memory and live in the present. Most people who look back to the past and live with regrets or longings to change something that should have been done in the past, end up not having a wonderful present and future. So, as a coffee cherry, just throw it away. Our past hurts, frustrations, regrets, lessons. Use them to strengthen our present and future, but never be driven by the past guilts.
