Coffee Thoughts \ Suffering Is Optional


“Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.” ― Haruki Murakami

Suffering is the drama we add to the inevitable discomfort that comes form being alive. You don’t have to suffer if you accept the pain. The fastest way through the fire is through the fire. So don’t be afraid of being sad, angry or hurt, these are emotions that come from living.

Coffee Thoughts \ Ask For What You Want


“Ask for what you want and be prepared to get it!” ― Maya Angelou

The path to success is the ability to know clearly what you want and not be afraid to ask for it – over and over again. The more focused you are on achieving your goals, the shorter the path between you and the end results.

Coffee Thoughts \ Face Your Fears


“Always do what you are afraid to do.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson

When you face your fears they shrink; when you avoid them they grow bigger and become even more frightening than they really are. The whole process makes you strong and others can feel your commitment to courage. It becomes a part of who you are.

Coffee Thoughts \ Create Your Life

"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” ― George Bernard Shaw

Take charge of your life; stop being lost. It’s time to decide who you are and declare it to the world. You are the only one who is in charge of your destiny. So don’t let others define you through their limited vision.

Coffee Thoughts \ The Universe Conspires

"And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”― Paulo Coelho

There is this magic that happens when you make a commitment of the heart – the universe begins to send you support and opportunity. Your mission is to keep your mind open and not be committed to one path; there are many ways to achieve your goals.

Coffee Thoughts \ Follow Your Heart


“Do what you feel in your heart to be right – for you’ll be criticized anyway.” ― Eleanor Roosevelt

The only way to find true happiness and be content with yourself is to listen to your heart. When you do what you feel is right, there will always be those who disagree or those who try and stop you. Your mission is to pay attention to yourself.

Coffee Thoughts \ Don't Give Up


“First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, and then you win.”― Mahatma Gandhi

When you really want something don’t give up just because it’s difficult. If you can outlast the opposition you’re going to succeed. So don’t let the actions or words of others take you away from your path.
