Let Your Dreams Become Your Job, Don't Let Your Job Deter You Fom Your Dreams

Let's talk dreams...  So often we as people become complacent with where we are in life.  That's funny because as children we are taught to follow our dreams, told that we can be whatever & whomever we want to be.  "The sky is the limit!  If you reach for the moon you will surely land amongst the stars!!" So why is it that in adulthood we like to play it safe???  What happens?  I can answer that question for you...LIFE HAPPENS!

I mean come on, we aspire to be GREAT...movie stars, singers, dancers, writers, doctors, police officers, fire fighters.  As children, we aspire to be rich, wealthy, prosperous, to have LIFE IN ABUNDANCE!  We have NO FEAR.  Then, as we continue to live & learn, we allow the experiences of others to intrude on our own aspirations & dreams.  Their GRIM REALITIES BECOME OUR LIFE!  We begin to limit ourselves, to speak negativity into our lives.  We end up working jobs that pay just enough for us to make it from one paycheck to 3 days before the next paycheck.  We settle for the norm.  We close our minds to POSSIBILITIES...we limit ourselves to the experiences of others who have settled for less. 

My concern is for our children today?  What are we really teaching them?  What are they learning?  Do we really want to show the children how to fail when they themselves are our future!  We are our present but THE CHILDREN ARE OUR FUTURE!!  I look in the eyes of my own children & I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is imperative that they see me living my dream.  It is imperative that MY children see that I have a STRONG WORK ETHIC, that I AM A WINNER!  I challenge each & everyone reading this post to make a difference in your life & in the life of a child.  What else is there to do?  REALLY...WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO DO?

Let's Talk Coffee...

Did you guys know that coffee is the world's most consumed beverage, next to water?  ...and that's actually pretty amusing because it takes water to make coffee.  Coffee is also the largest traded commodity, in the world, next to oil.  That's right...not steel, not gold or silver...BUT COFFEE!  No wonder most major restaurant chains are now marketing coffee over hamburgers & fries.  More than 80% of Americans over the age of 18, consume over 400 million cups per day.  That is roughly 255 million coffee drinkers in North America!  WOW! What's even more amazing is that most of us pay anywhere upwards of $4.00 per cup anywhere from 3-5 times per day!!  Can you say "CHA-CHING"!  These facts are real.  Clearly, coffee is not a luxury, it's a HABIT!  WE HAVE TO HAVE OUR COFFEE.  I know that I do.  On average, I would spend $99.50 per month on coffee.  Yes, it was in my budget...1 cup at the corner store on my way to work and another 2 cups at work, 5 days per week.  I know that I am not alone, as I can feel the heads nodding in agreement as you read this.  So the coffee is now in the cup and we're smiling & energized but when the coffee has been drank, we're all left with heartburn & jitters.  Am I right or AM I RIGHT?  So with that being said what if you could drink a healthier coffee that detoxifies & oxygenates the body, provides more energy & vigor without those annoying jitters, supports quality of sleep & circulation?  Imagine being able to introduce your friends & family to a healthier gourmet coffee and earning money everytime they drink it!  Hmmm...what are your thoughts?
