Coffee, time, and small happiness.
"Happiness depends upon ourselves."
Having small joys in your daily life may be the most important thing in life.
I don't even remember when I started drinking coffee, it was so long ago. However, looking back, coffee has always been a part of my life.
Since I started brewing my own coffee, I found myself making time to make coffee for about 10 minutes almost every day, no matter how busy I was. Just 10 minutes to concentrate on brewing coffee and spend some time drinking the finished coffee.
I was unconsciously creating that kind of time.
It's still the same now that coffee is my livelihood. I arrive at the shop in the morning, brew a cup of coffee for myself, and spend a little time with it. For me, having that kind of time may be the most important thing of all.
I'm sure there are many people who lead busy lives and believe they don't have the time for this.
Some people say, "Happiness depends on you."
For me, brewing coffee may have been one way to connect with that. The small joys of everyday life and the succession of daily activities connect to the future, and as a result, life becomes more colorful.
And I still feel that way to this day.
If you can't find such small happiness in the scenery that you see, why not try making your own coffee, for example?
It's not difficult. You can brew coffee in no time. Eventually, connections will be made and new perspectives will emerge.
Coffee is consumed all over the world, and various stories and words are infused into it. You might feel something by coming into contact with it.
Such small moments, such brief moments, accumulated over time, may bring you something important.
