Coffee Thoughts \ A Life Of Passion?

There is no such thing as a life of passion any more than a continuous earthquake, or an eternal fever. Besides, who would ever shave themselves in such a state? -- Lord Byron

To seek to live in an extreme state of bliss would make bliss commonplace and one would look for mediocrity for pleasure.

Coffee Thoughts \ Little By Little

Good character is not formed in a week or a month. It is created little by little, day by day. Protracted and patient effort is needed to develop good character. -- Heraclitus

Attention to detail is the key to success in character and in life. Find a way to do things well every day and when the big opportunities come your way, you’ll be prepared.

Coffee Thoughts \ The Rules of The Game

“You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.” --Albert Einstein

The rules of the game are not always what is declared. Those in power often play by a silent code, figure it out and you’ll find success a lot easier to achieve.  

Coffee Thoughts \ Happiness

Happiness is like a butterfly.
The more you chase it, the more it eludes you.
But if you turn your attention to other things,
It comes and sits softly on your shoulder.
 - Henry David Thoreau

Happiness cannot be pursued. It’s a byproduct of the things we do.

Coffee Thoughts \ Feel At Home

“The ideal is to feel at home anywhere, everywhere” Geoff Dye

This can only happen when you’re comfortable with yourself.

Coffee Thoughts \ Expand Your Horizons

“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” St. Augustine

There is nothing that changes you faster than getting away from what’s familiar and going some place you’ve never been before.

Coffee Thoughts \ Inspiration

Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working." Pablo Picasso

Spoken by a man who produced as many as 50,00 pieces of art. It’s not enough to be inspired, you’ve got to use it to create something in your life.
