The best way to never get over a problem is to keep focusing on it.
Spotting a problem is easy, and for many of us, it can create a sense of pride for being the first one to notice it. That sense of pride resonates inside of us and it’s in our nature to want to revisit that feeling and duplicate it as often as possible.
While making my pot of coffee this morning I chuckled a bit. Scoop after scoop I was making my coffee just the way I love it. DARK. I even set my brew quality to STRONG. I love my coffee with a rich bold flavor, just the way Starbucks makes their regular blend. Matter of fact, we buy our coffee (extra bold) from Starbucks and/or World Market just to get it the way we like it.
7 years ago, though, my opinions were way different. If you would have given me a cup of rich bold flavored coffee, I would have curled my lips and thought it tasted burnt. That 7 some years ago, I was just entering into a business lease in downtown Rochester, MI. My office happened to be right across the street from America’s favorite coffee house, Starbucks.
