A moment to think

As I was sitting in a Starbucks cafe’ flipping the Elle Decor magazine, I’ve read these words written in the table that says ‘a moment to think’ - we all know that if we want to idle for a day, we just sit, relax or in my case drink a cuppa coffee - but it took me a moment to think that my life isn’t so bad at all. Then all of the sudden, I thought, if every moment is such an amazing thing like this kind of moment, why can’t I always feel whatever-this-thing-is for life?
We all know that we’re supposed to set goals for ourselves. We complaint too much if we haven’t achieved anything, or if we missed it, how disappointing can that be? Sometimes we forget to appreciate the things around us, the stress in our life and why its there.
Why do we have to work so hard? “Think about the future”, is that it? I see all that motivational stuff on whatever it is that I see everyday. And I thought, “hey wait a minute, do I really have to worry about the future”?
I began to think that I’m all into the kind of journey. It’s more fascinating to live and enjoy life by taking a moment to appreciate the beautiful thing around us. When you show gratitude for simply being alive, then you are truly a happy, calm, and awesome person.
Thanks, Starbucks for making me enjoy my coffee and appreciate life.
Enjoy life and have a great Sunday!
i started thinking twice in going to starbucks coffee shops because i have this strange body habit of feeling sleepy after a cup or two. but you are right, after all life is a journey so enjoy the things around, the scenery. after all we will be bound to a certain end and that’s it. our only trace is the history we make; history we sometimes write other to people’s hearts and minds. and sometimes, we prefer leaving them beneath the secret vaults.

I think I am too, when I had a couple of mugs, nakaka-antok na, maybe our body reacts more on the sugar than the coffee - whatever brands, it still tastes sweet.
or the body system changes its reactions according to time?

the problem with the world today is that everything is going at a dizzying pace. rarely do you see anyone who stops to look at the flowers, or pauses to enjoy a song playing somewhere. i guess, the trick is to treasure the simplest, tiniest moments in life, because sometimes, these moments are when we truly are alive. happy weekend.

Hi prinsesa, that’s what I’ve been noticing here in this city - most locals walk faster than I do, maybe it’s the Pinoy in me, if you know what I mean, but they are like in a hurry all the time. I don’t quite get it. I guess that’s the irony of it all. We all rush to get to some place else but when we finally done that, we don’t have any slightest idea why we are hurrying in the first place.
Hey, thanks for the visit.
like that phrase… a moment to think… i always thought that thinking is synonymous to stress but it is not. i realized that when i have given a chance to think, and think again, colorful rainbow plays into my mind. which made me realize that life is indeed a beautiful one… no worries, no stress… just plain thinking of happiness.
tnx for the post!
hey, guess what..i had the same exact moment yesterday..what i did is i spent time alone in the gym doing yoga then after wards, dined myself out to a nice korean restaurant and then after that watched myself a movie, Get Smart by steve carell. i think that sometimes, we all need a little alone time to appreciate the beauty of life. i think of it this way now that my life isn’t that bad, although i’m hoping for it to be a little better, but for now, i’m happy.. thanks for posting this..it really is indeed inspirational..

i hope di ka naman kailangan pumunta lagi sa starbucks to feel good about yourself and your life. medyo magastos yata yun, hehe. i’m sure you can take “a moment to think” any time of the day to count your many blessings.
alam mo ako din, i get sleepy after drinking coffee, bakit kaya opposite ang effect ng caffeine sa katawan ko (natin?). if its the sugar, then diba lalo nga dapat tayong hyper because sugar is a carb? weird no?
