Coffee Shop Confessionals

This is our first video of a new segment we’re calling “Coffee Shop Confessionals” (CSC). We’ll be touring around town visiting some of our favorite coffee houses and roasters and will be discussing business and life, because my business as I assume many of your businesses are very much entwined with your lives… And more and more these days the lines separating business /work and personal life have been blurred. We’ll talk a lot of real estate, because, well that’s what I do, but we’ll also talk about business in general, life, relationships, raising kids etc. TODAY I want to talk about happiness.

I want to focus on this today because there’s so much negativity floating around these days. I think many of us are not achieving the true happiness we seek. Maybe we’re a little bummed out or a bit angry. BUT, at the core of things, I know that what drives us is the search for love and happiness. Now I am not going to get into a big Ole hippie monologue, but I have been studying the science of happiness lately, reading books like the rise of Superman and the Happiness Project. There’s one key element that stood out to me, one very important pillar to finding happiness, and its meaningful acts or acts of generosity.

This seems like such a simple principle, there’s more to it than just giving your money and time to a good cause. The actual act of being generous changes you inside, it makes you more flexible, more open minded and quite frankly knowing that life is so much bigger than us as individuals. When our hearts are humbled, hardened hearts become softer, and softer hearts can receive and give more love, and when we give more love we spread the happiness, and when we spread the happiness, we become happier because we’ve tapped into flowing river of happiness. This is true too, happier people tend to live longer healthier lives and they find meaning in the acts that they perform, they don’t need to chase a muse for inspiration, their magnum opus is their life and the ability to share it with those whom they care for and love. So with this video I am challenging myself, along with you to find more joy in the things we do by being more generous. Click on the comments below, I would love your feedback.

Until next time amigos, stay caffeinated and motivated…
