Hello Steemians,
I had consumed countless coffees in my life but this time it was different.

On one evening I was leaving from work after having a hectic day of having meetings and plannings. I wanted a mood booster, so I decided to go to a cafe and have a cold coffee before I land to my home. Yes, I am one of those who prefer cold coffee over hot one.
I reached the cafe soon but I couldn't get the parking. I struggled for a while then finally got a little space saved for me by no one. As I was in hurry so I directly rush towards the cafe's counter to order a simple plain cold coffee but it took a while to place my order due to some coffee lovers were already ahead of me in the queue. Like always on some cafes.
After a few minutes my turn came so I gave my card to pay but the guy literally just refused to accept it and asked to pay in cash because his swap machine was not working. Again I felt that my day is not over yet. I gave him cash. He immediately gave me a receipt and asked pointed me towards an empty table to have a seat. So I took my place and I was doing that work which we all hate the most, 'WAIT'.
I was sitting there and completely lost myself in my mobile. After a while suddenly I noticed on the receipt which I got for my order was printed with Table #1 on it.

I don't know what happened but suddenly I felt good inside at some level by seeing that number 1 and I totally forgot for a while that I was having an exhausting day or I was a
bout to reach at home soon and also that person who was texting for asking me for a hangout.
I just lost for a while in remembering all those winning moments in my life and I was recalling them in an endless loop. Suddenly I noticed a happy face. He came towards me to give my coffee. His face was new so I just asked that I haven't seen you here before and can you guess what he had replied? He smiled at me and said, "Sir it's my 1st day here." And walk away with a big smile on my face too.
Being 1st is so magical sometimes that every pain seems bearable, every efforts seems worthwhile and every night outs seems fruitful whenever you got 1st either in your academics, in any competition, 1st job or any business or that very memorable 1st income. It was very special. Isn't it?
Here I realised a very deep thing that God already gave us many winning moments in our lives to be happy about and to be thankful for. It doesn't matter if we are going through any temporary ups and downs in our lives, but it's completely up-to us about how we choose to live in every moment. If we choose to live that moment then we are the 1st for being happy in that exact moment, if we don't then we might still running to find some another 1st moment but how many moments we loose to get the other moment? And when we will get the next one? No one knows.
Sometime somethings might look silly to you but if that makes you happy even a little bit, then go for it and live in that moment. Humans meant to live their life, not just to spend it. Don't rush every time from everywhere. Take a deep breath and be present in that moment. Everything is planned by that Divine Energy and it will only happen on it's correct time, so have faith in it and do your Karma.
I wanted to share this story with all of you in a hope that you will try to find something good in any situations in your life either it's bad or good.
By the way what was your 1st moment which makes you happy again and again ? Let me know in the comments. And yes, after having that coffee at table no.1, I went to home happily.
See you soon fellows.
