What's in your cup?

I'm having my third cup of Killer Beans Electric Chair Espresso. I think this is my new favorite.

Doi Chaang Single-estate medium roast. Coarse grind in my french press.

Amazing beans, however Jerry's beans still beat them for taste/$.

Kenya AA Oaklands. A recent sample I received. Very typical, wild and fruit in the cup. Sweet. May need to investigate further. I love my job....Have a great Friday!

Allow enjoyment

Find something to enjoy and to sincerely value about whatever you are doing. And you will add power and effectiveness to your efforts. Realize that anything is enjoyable to you solely because you have decided for it to be enjoyable. It's a decision that can create much value. Instead of fighting against your own actions, give energy to them. Instead of making yourself miserable, allow yourself to enjoy.

It's great when you can make positive plans and enjoy following through on them. Yet even when things don't turn out as planned, you can find something to value and enjoy. Learn to find enjoyment in life's surprises, and those surprises can yield great treasure. Choose to enjoy those times when you get knocked off track, and you'll discover the quickest way to get back on track. You are at your best when truly enjoying life. So allow enjoyment to bring out your best in every situation.

A delicious cup of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe. Citrus notes up front, a deep resonant cocoa as the coffee cools. Amazing. Enjoy your Saturday, folks.

Seek to give

Whatever you desire for yourself, desire it for others as well. That will help to take you beyond the constraining influence of your ego. There is nothing of any value to be gained by taking from others. For anything you take away from someone else can just as easily be taken from you.

Instead, choose to become the living embodiment of that which you wish to have. Give energy and focus and action to your dreams, and those dreams will come to life all around you. The more people who benefit from your positive thoughts and efforts, the more quickly those efforts will bring valuable results. To experience great abundance, be a channel through which that abundance can flow.

Make a positive difference that extends into the lives around you. Create value that goes beyond you. It is by giving that you make room to receive even more. Seek to give what you wish to have, and it will surely become real for you.

2006 Sumatra Kuda Mas Lingtong. The rock steady bass clef in my staccato coffee collection. Smooth, low acid, perfection. Enjoy what is starting out to be a beautiful Sunday.

Clarity

Are your goals real and clear to you, or are they just vague concepts? The more vividly you can see where you desire to go, the more effectively you can determine how to get there. "I want to see the world" is an ambitious enough goal, yet it has little power because it lacks compelling detail. Adding the specifics such as "I intend to sail across the Pacific Ocean, to hike through the Alps, to stand on the Great Wall of China" will flesh out the goal, making it real and achievable.

Do you want to buy someone "the perfect gift?" You cannot do that until you define what specific item that would be. Intentions must be clear if they're to be achieved.

Give details to your desires, and you'll give wings to your dreams. Knowing precisely what you want will naturally lead you to precisely how to achieve it. If you're not getting where you desire to go, work on making the goal more clear and specific. Every vivid detail will further define and direct your efforts. See the goal clearly enough, and you'll clearly see the way there.
