Coffee, time, and small happiness.
"Happiness depends upon ourselves."
The existence of small joys in everyday life. This may be the most important thing in life.
When I started drinking coffee, it was so long ago that I don't even remember it. But looking back, coffee has always been a natural part of my life, no matter the circumstances.
After I started brewing it myself, I found that even when my daily life was incredibly busy, I would always make time, almost every day, to brew coffee for about ten minutes. Just ten minutes, focusing on brewing coffee, and then spending a moment enjoying the finished brew.
Unconsciously, I created such times for myself.
This remains true even now that coffee is my profession. In the morning, I arrive at the shop, brew a cup of coffee for myself, and spend a few moments. For me, having such time might be the most important thing.
I believe many people, living busy lives, feel that they can't possibly make such time.
"Whether you are happy or not depends on yourself."
These are words that have been spoken for a long time.
For me, brewing coffee might have been one way to connect with that idea. The succession of small, everyday joys and activities led to the future, and as a result, color was added to my life.
And I continue to feel that even now.
If you can't find such small joys in the scenery before your eyes, why not try starting to brew coffee, for example?
It's not difficult. You can start brewing coffee right away. Eventually, connections will form from it, and a new landscape should become visible.
Coffee is drunk all over the world, and various stories and words are blended into it. By experiencing this, you might feel something.
Such a trivialきっかけ, a small amount of time, and its accumulation, may bring something important to you.
