The Coffee Shop Window Seat

Angelo Valenti

Grabbed the window seat at my local coffee shop. Noticed something: everyone outside looks busy, but the ones who look content are those who seem to be going nowhere.

🚶 We’re addicted to destination:

  • 🏃 Always heading somewhere
  • 🎯 Forever chasing next
  • ⏭️ Constantly seeking arrival
  • 📅 Perpetually pursuing goals

📌 The movement mindset:

  • Treating life like a to-do list
  • 🪜 Seeing days as stepping stones
  • Using now to get to later
  • 👀 Missing here for there

🚩 Signs you’re missing your window seat:

  • 🏆 You can’t enjoy achievements
  • You rush through weekends
  • 📖 You’re always planning ahead
  • 🚗 You skip the scenic route

🌟 What window-watchers know:

  • ⏸️ Life happens in pauses
  • 🌸 Joy lives in moments
  • ☮️ Peace exists in presence
  • 👁️ Beauty dwells in being

Because sometimes, the best place to be is exactly where you are.
