Starbucks Cup #51

Greetings:

I make no bones about the fact that I love Starbucks. Interestingly enough I didn't start drinking coffee until 1995, the year I was laid off from my corporate job. My friend and I both took the "Package" and found ourselves at work for three months without anything to do. Once we notified the company that we would take the voluntary layoff our offices were cleared out and we were left to sit and twiddle our thumbs. We ended up spending hours at Starbucks. My colleague taught me how to order, not such a simple thing at Starbucks, and I was hooked. Been drinking Latte's ever since. Now I drink Soy Latte's but that is about all that has changed.

Besides the coffee at Starbucks I also love the cups. Not just any Starbucks cup but the ones that have "The Way I See It" on them. Recently I wrote a Day based on a Starbucks cup. It was #51 in the series and was by Michael Medved, author of Right Turns and radio talk show host. According to Medved "Americans spend an average of 29 hours a week watching television, which means in a typical life span we devote 13 uninterrupted years to our TV sets! The biggest problem with mass media isn't low quality, it's high quantity. Cutting down just an hour a day would provide extra years of life, for music and family, exercise and reading, conversation and coffee."

One of my 100 things I would like to do before I die is be on a Starbucks cup. I have actually made a mock-up of my cup and have it pinned on the wall in front of my desk. It is sort of a mini Prosperity Board. I see "MY" Starbucks cup every day. I have even had people come into my office and be pretty surprised when they see I have been on a Starbucks cup. I tell them it is just a preview of things to come!

Remember if you want something you have to see it and believe it before you can receive it. Whatever it is you want create a visual of it so that you can see it everyday and be inspired by it. The more you see it the more real it will become to you and the more you will believe it can happen.

Here's to taking action,
