Coffee really?  I know you might wonder why I should make coffee a conversation starter but so many of us start our day with it.  Unfortunately we drink it for the wrong intention.

Coffee is a very simple beverage.  It is a simple pleasure to start the day.  Today I understood the experience differently.  I wanted to enjoy the beverage versus needing the beverage to have a false sense of energy.  Now granted I am not saying coffee is not a stimulant (on the contrary) but to have a false sense of being awake or well-being is not what we really seek.  I have discovered the energy we seek only comes from within not inside the beautiful coffee beans.  The only thing inside those beautiful coffee beans after too many cups of trying to find false energy is nervous.  What other ways do seek to fulfill our voids by using an artificial substances when what we seek is within each and everyone of us?  We must want to find it and not have to or need to simply get through the day.

Today I sought my energy from within and found it.  I began to enjoy a very simple morning beverage with a new found joy not because I needed to or had to but because I wanted to.

Everyone must find their own direction and keep pushing forward even when life pushes back.  Do not wear yourself out trying to fit into someone’s image of who they think you are.  Deep inside, we all have a voice.  Can you hear it calling?  Within each of us lies greatness.

My Story (The Interview)

I am not one who likes change but I know it is inevitable.  Just when I think I have it all figured out the wind changes just like in Mary Poppins except there is no umbrella directing my path.

Wouldn’t it be great if we did have a magic umbrella directing us this way and that way?  Then we would not have to take ownership of our decisions.  Blaming others or situations is the easy way out instead of using each turn as a growth and learning opportunity.  Like driving down the street and making a new turn, you will never know where a new turn can lead you.

The direction is mine and mine alone.  I can either accept or resist it but change will come whether or not we will it.  As difficult as it is, I am learning to trust in the Universe knowing me better than I know myself and being thankful of the twists and turns in my life.  The only constant is change.  Are you ready to make a change?  Visit my website:  www.etccoaching.net
