Coffee Thoughts \ Self-Mastery

“One can have no smaller or greater mastery than mastery of oneself.” -- Leonardo da Vinci

 It doesn’t matter how talented you are, if you have no self- discipline it will be difficult to manifest it.

Coffee Thoughts \ Self-discipline

Appropriate rituals channel your emotions and life energy toward the light. Without the discipline to practice them, you will tumble constantly backward into darkness. – Lao-Tzu. Hua Hu Ching

A lack of self-discipline will keep you from success both spiritually and in business. Embrace self-imposed boundaries and learn to say no to yourself when necessary.

Coffee Thoughts \ Look for an Open Door


“Don't spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door. ” ― Coco Chanel

There is always more than one path to a goal. Don’t overcommit to one way of accomplishing your dreams, be flexible and take the door that’s open.

Coffee Thoughts \ What is the cost?


“The value of a thing sometimes lies not in what one attains with it, but in what one pays for it—what it costs us.” Nietzsche

I do believe that this is often overlooked. If what you are doing takes you too far off your path, if it distracts you from life, love and passion then the cost is too great.

Beware the barrenness of a busy life -- Socrates 
If you can't be alone you will fill your life with things that have no meaning.
