Life is like a cup of coffee in many ways. First, it can be dark, it can be light, it can be sweet, it can be bitter. You are the designer of your life just as you are the constructor of your coffee. It can be however you make it. If you wake up excited about that first sip thinking “Oh my God it’s morning!!!!!” :) or wake up “Oh God, it’s morning…” :( is up to you. You choose the course of your day, which adds up to the course of your life with each choice you make as to the attitude you will face it with. When you think of the word ‘rich’ as it pertains to life (or your coffee), think of the flavorful hint of coffee in your mouth. Think of it with sweet creme that titillates the palate and gives you ultimate joy and pleasure. Or can you add some sugar to your disposition to add a hint of sweetness to the blend. Whatever is needed, add that element to your life – create an environment for it to be rich, sweet and creamy – or full bodied and strong – or light and full-bodied, but make it GREAT. Approach your life as you would approach your coffee. What do you need to add to it to have it be the ultimate- the Jamaican Blue Mountain, Kona or Columbian? If you’re into prestige, you can purchase a rare coffee called kopi luwak. It is made from coffee beans eaten by an animal related to the civet, then collected from the jungle floor after passing through its digestive tract. It’s debatable as to whether it is the best coffee but it is definitely the most expensive. So as I began my premise, yes, life is like coffee. Even through the worst possible s–t, can come a great cup of coffee. It’s just what you make of it that counts. And when you’re having a bad day, reflect on the price of kopi luwak and realize that what you are going through is only adding value to your experience and look for the humor in the moment. Things could be worse. You could actually be drinking a cup of of it and paying between $120-$600/pound to do so. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopi_Luwak
Take time each day to contemplate how your life is like a cup of coffee and what ingredient could make it smoother, more inviting, more tasty, more invigorating and give you the jolt that maybe you need to take that next step up in your life.
To Your Success!
