Coffee Thoughts \ Your Focus

“Always remember, your focus determines your reality.” ― George Lucas

You, no one else, is the creator of your life. Slow down and pay attention to what you’re giving your attention to. 

Coffee Thoughts \ There Is Always A Way

“What's meant to be will always find a way” ― Trisha Yearwood

When something doesn’t happen for you, don’t give up -- find another way. The universe never follows a linear line: it tends to take you on a zigzag path. 

Coffee Thoughts \ Avoid Problems

“A clever person solves a problem. A wise person avoids it.” ― Albert Einstein

Look ahead and see where you want to be and then look at the path you have created and foresee the problems – most are obvious. 

Coffee Thoughts \ Sing Your Song

“Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.” -- ― Henry David Thoreau

This happens to be one of my favorite quotes because it reminds me not to give in to fear and to live my life according to the song in my heart.

Coffee Thoughts \ Don't Quit

“Talent is a wonderful thing, but it won't carry a quitter. ” ― Stephen King

It doesn’t matter how talented you are if you give up on your first rejection, or fail to keep going just because things have gotten tough.

Coffee Thoughts \ Emotional Reactions

“How you react emotionally is a choice in any situation.” -― Judith Orloff

It’s important to be in charge of how you express your emotions, not how you feel them. The actions you take and how you choose to respond to any given situation creates your success and your path. 

Coffee Thoughts \ Rational Thinking

“I never made one of my discoveries through the process of rational thinking” ― Albert Einstein

Logic is limited; imagination is limitless. The best minds combine the two. 

Coffee Thoughts \ Don't Get Even

“You'll never get ahead of anyone as long as you try to get even with him.” ― Lou Holtz

Don’t waste your time trying to teach someone a lesson -- that’s the job of the universe. If you have patience you will see that those that do you wrong will somehow bring about their own demise.  

Coffee Thoughts \ Fear

“Do one thing every day that scares you.” ― Eleanor Roosevelt

When you face your fears, they shrink and you get stronger. When you avoid them they grow. 

Coffee Thoughts \ The Thorns

“I can alter my life by altering my attitude. He who would have nothing to do with thorns must never attempt to gather flowers.” ― Henry David Thoreau

Life has thorns; there is a shadow to every light. You must be able to handle both the good and the bad, the joy and the sadness to be happy and successful in life.
