Each of us has a unique life that is to be appreciated without comparison. We experience influences, but it is up to us to filter out the unnecessary. Being true to ourselves, empowering our inner voice, and embracing positivity shapes our lives and slowly helps shed materialistic fallacies. And we each have a unique timeline even for this to happen. While it does, let us focus on living a happy life; your subtle efforts in leading a simpler, goal-driven life might be the right influence for someone near you.  Well, in the midst of it all, perhaps enjoy a cup of coffee—a comforting companion on our journey.
