With a coffee I raised the curtain of the day, my temperament and the weather were synchronized, a summer sun appeared ideal to go to the pool, but minutes later, a surprise rain ruined my plans, there is no other option but to stay at home, look out the window, maybe write a poem, move the furniture and dry the floor, I have holes in the ceiling.
Scented candles, Celtic music, an album with the best of Enya's repertoire, turn on the laptop, visit the mantra forum for spiritual and material wealth.
I take a deep breath and say in a confident voice; "I have in my pockets, the presidential suite of a 5 star hotel for money to feel comfortable and not want to leave", "Today I will receive a financial miracle".
I write my wishes, "I want to be this summer in Ibiza, paradise beaches, electronic music, neon lights, a Mediterranean cruise and lots of photos to show off on Instagram".
Ha ha ha, imagining it is sensational, it's like a therapy to relieve that state of wanting to be everywhere but at home, then I open my eyes and say "As long as there is life, there is opportunity".
The cat rummages incessantly in an old window, could it be a snake, I climb on the table and from a distance, with a broom, I remove with fear, some boxes fall to the floor, on impact, from a golden and rusty jar, smoke with the smell of artisan coffee and wet earth comes out.
I am a great coffee genie and I will grant only one of your wishes... coffee!
I was stunned, pale and petrified, at my 30 years old I was living that Disney moment, that I dreamed so much as a child, the magic beans, the carriage that was a pumpkin, the prince that was a toad.
I'm a quick thinker, but I asked the genie for time to glimpse that moment.
Once my mind landed in the present, I was ready to ask.....
"I want 100,000 magic golden coupons, whoever has one, can redeem it at their favorite coffee shop for a special service, a catering of the most exotic and exquisite coffee combinations, up to 10 cups with dessert, I won't worry about maps, or agendas, or agreements, because it will all be magic", Right?
The genie, an imposing, stocky figure of few words, said: Let there be light, said the creator!
I immediately interrupted him: Excuse me, can you forget this wish and contemplate another idea that just came to my mind?
The genie looked at me in an intimidating way and answered: I can listen to you, then I will decide which of the dreams I will fulfill!
You know?, my idea with the first wish was to sell these coupons to get $500,000 and go travel around the world on vacation, also to make some gifts for family and friends on special dates, but I have a hunch, an instinctive instinct.
I want a magic recipe that we will call "Will Coffee", a special preparation, whoever drinks this coffee will feel inspired, with the desire to work for himself, he will design an action plan, small goals that will lead him to a great objective, he will not faint before obstacles, he will feel patient and positive, with the desire to learn and teach.
With a dose of "Will Coffee" every morning, the dreaming tickles will be activated and the strategist man will see opportunities where others see threats.
The genie smiled and disappeared. With certainty I waited patiently for his decision, days later I found in the same old shop window a torn piece of paper, it looked like a pirate map, it was the recipe.
I prepared the coffee for myself.
In front of the window I thought, now with this desire to work, without that impatient internal saboteur, I will go, step by step, ready to earn that half a million dollars of the first dream, organically and documented all my experiences.
I feel optimistic.
