If I Choose Coffee over 100K, Shoot Me
Hell Yeah!
I'll spill the beans and keep this fuckin' real for ya!
A 100K could buy my love for coffee in a heartbeat.
There's life after love, but there's no love without life, and money is life, not coffee!
The thing is, drinking coffee satisfies my emotions, but the world does not revolve around my feelings or my love for coffee. The world revolves around money, and not drinking coffee would not make me lose my zest for promoting coffee as the elixir of life.
I'll give an example;
When I worked as a Concierge, I recommended restaurants to clients. I did not get the chance to visit all restaurants that I had to sell, but in my position, there was no value in saying to a customer, I cannot recommend this or that restaurant because I have not been there.
Instead, I listened to the feedback of every customer who went to all the restaurants. Over time, I noticed a trend. Guests all came back and gave the same rave reviews, which were so detailed, that I could visualise the restaurants, and enthusiastically sell the restaurants to customers, by giving them an equally detail idea of what to expect.
The restaurant owner took the initiative to occasionally send a different meal from their menu, back to the hotel for me, with their driver. So I could describe every meal with fervour.
Every time a customer came back from one of the restaurants that I sold as my favourite, they'd say;
"Milly, the restaurant was just as you described it. We were blown away. It's just like walking into an art gallery, yet feeling like you walked into your living room with family greeting and serving you a meal."
Years later, I finally got the chance to visit the restaurant, and I kid you not, it was like déjà vu.
I've had hundreds of cups of coffee in my lifetime. Should I give up the beverage for 100K, it would be just a personal choice which would not steal my zeal or belief in the power of the beverage. However, with 100K at my disposal, by the time I start missing coffee, there would be a great chance that a new love would present itself.
Which is better a scarcity or an abundance mindset?
I think there's power in letting go and analysing the reasons why we hold onto things, and seeing how much of our choices are based on emotions and short-term thinking.
Picking coffee over 100K would be like being stuck in second gear. 100K would present opportunities, for me to focus on more than just an emotional love for drinking coffee.
I would stand a better chance of bettering my entire life by receiving 100K, more than by holding onto my love for drinking coffee daily, which adds up and make me more likely to lose 100K over a coffee-drinking habit.
So, peeps! If I should ever choose coffee over 100K, would you shoot me, please?
Peace!
The Goddess of Coffee for Life.

All images belong to me. The cup of coffee was my last cup of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, which I drank before leaving for the airport last February:)

Thank you so much @teamuk for your continuous support:)
You can't choose both? hahahahahaha How charming and intriguing, it moves, attractively moves anyone. It's like submitting yourself to an evaluation of what you have and what you lose. In the end, the decision is yours.😁😁
A big hug for you.
Haha! Nah, man! You gotta go with your heart or your head and pick one.
Thanks for the love:)))
hahahahahahahaha if so I'll keep the coffee, I can't imagine living without my love for it.🙊
Good choice! You gotta do you 😉
Hello dear friend @millycf1976 good day
What a beautiful experience you tell us about when he was a concierge recommending restaurants, and how good that the owner had that gesture so you could know what his menu tasted like.
As for the love for coffee, I also think the same, I think I would drink it as long as it doesn't affect my economy, or it becomes extremely expensive.
I take this opportunity to wish you a happy start to the week
Hey there!
Thank you!
Reflecting on that memory brought back happy feelings.
I'm pragmatic even if the decision is about coffee.
Wishing you a brilliant week ahead:)))
100k is quite a lot of money huge enough to change one's life forever. The money holds different values to us, some people have hundreds of it sitting in their bank accounts so it wouldn't mean much to and regardless of everyone's decision, I respect their choice.
You definitely made a good choice and truly, you can pick up a new interest aside from coffee but the absence of it will definitely be missed.
Doing completely away with something our system is used to might be difficult at first and with money involved, the switch might happen at a different speed on a different level.
Wow, I like the way you're thinking here.
So very true! I think love should propel one forward, not hold one back. It would be forward thinking over and adjusting, indeed:)))
I would drop coffee like a hot potato if I could get $100k for doing so! I've already been fighting with giving it up for the last couple of years (currently on a one-week streak without it), so that kind of opportunity would push me right over the edge and I'd never have it again.
😂 I'm with you on that!
It would take some getting used to, but a mindset shift would not be difficult with the opportunity that 100K could present:)))
I always wanted to see you participate in this challenge, you've probably done it before but I hadn't made it in time to read it, I love that I was able to have the honor this time.
Not all loves have to be forever, if an opportunity for improvement comes along that requires removing something we love from our life, well go ahead....
“There's life after love, but there's no love without life” This sentence is so real and perfect 🙌
Haha! I don't know what came over me. I was in the middle of doing something when the prompt popped up in my mind. So, I quickly browsed my mobile for photos that I never used and decided to put myself in the position as if that choice was actually there on a table for me 😅
It would not be an easy decision if we allowed our emotions get in the way.
I'm glad that I wrote this, and I'm gonna check out some of the new stories that are popping in:)))
Beautiful photos, without thinking twice, I choose coffee, it is the drink of abundance, the best of all, I could not imagine my life without that drink.
So, coffee till you die!
Amen!
Hello friend, it is impossible to be without coffee, waking up every morning and drinking a good cup of coffee is the best, while with money you can not do anything like that, just spend and spend and in the end we realize that everything is gone and we do not enjoy it, while the coffee will last for a long time and we can drink as many cups of coffee as we want. A great choice. Very nice pictures and the one with the glasses, you look amazing.
Thank you 😊
Agreed!💯
You don't think you could spend and also invest?...
The emotion is so great that one spends money on unnecessary things and when he realizes it, he spends it all.
Ummm, so maybe the answer is in finding willpower in our actions, and not just improving horsepower from coffee drinking?
Ooh, tough choice! I'm sure I actually could give up coffee, so when presented with the options, it's quite possible I would choose the coffee over the 100k!
Haha! As important as coffee is to me, and as strong as my love is for it, I would find a substitute for a 100K 😂
It would be great if we could run and actual test. I’d have to decide in the moment!
Now I'm thinking what is your actual buy out price, haha. I'm not going to lie it's hard for me to put a number on it. At 100k though anything related to coffee will disappear in my household. RIP coffee 😂
Haha!
My husband loves coffee more than I do; He loves me more than coffee. But honestly, if I chose coffee over a 100K, I think he would shoot me personally, just out of principle, or have me put in an asylum 🤣

But until I see that suitcase of dough I'll be sipping on my cup of Joe every morning:) ☕☕
I've been looking into insurance today and now I can't stop to think about a 100k of coffee as the pay out. Haha. Coffee for future generations, hehe. Well if I don't drink it all away :)
Yeah! Absolutely! On my knees, like...
You might have a chance to get the money later, even more and selling cefe.
Good written work I liked it

Thank you 😊
I like the way you're thinking there!😁

I think that money would win over coffee, you are right in this world money is very important and necessary to continue living.
You made the right decision.
Thanks for sharing.
Excellent start week and many cups of coffee.
Thank you!😊
Coffee and money are two commodities that are hard to imagine living our lives without. However, the decision comes down to the fact that one is for eating, while the other one feeds.
I can find a substitute for coffee, but not a substitute for money.✌️
Interesting choice. I see your point about some new thing coming along to fill the void. The nice thing is that there are a lot of differt teas out there to drink instead that can be just as comforting for people.
Hehe! Yeah? ... and there's also a coffee blossom tea, that I could turn to if there was a dire need 🙃😆
Never heard of it but sounds like a viable option. 😄
😆
Wao! I never thought I would read from the Goddess of coffee the goodbye to the sacred beverage 🤭.... Fair enough. But I know what it's like to live without coffee and it's not pleasant. Maybe you'll regret it later...I hope not.
Good story ☺️👍🏻
😆 Hehe, thank you! I imagine it would be a difficult transition, but eventually, I'd find a good substitute:)))
Yes I truly agree that world just revolve around the money. The world is the game for money. Everyone is in race for the money.
Yeah, it's a funny old world, heh!
Yay! 🤗
