I grew up hating coffee.

When I was younger, there existed an aisle in the supermarket where my family would go grocery shopping; An aisle dedicated to coffee. The aroma would give me headaches, and so I avoided coffee for most of my early adult life.

I joined the Army right out of high school. In fact, I was in boot camp when I was 17. In boot camp, we weren't allowed to have coffee... Although I remember some of my friends bartering for the MRE instant coffee. Even offering boot shining, and BDU ironing in exchange.

I actually didn't become addicted to coffee until I was 28. This was when I started intermittent fasting full-time, and needed the caffeine to curb my appetite.

Unlike many people, I consider myself a morning person. I usually go to sleep around 9-10pm, and wake up around 6-7am. Before I even brush my teeth, I get my beans ground and water boiled.

Coffee nowadays, I would consider to be an investment. And I love investing in myself. My mornings when colliding with a heavy dose of caffeine, are always super productive. Since I now spend my mornings reading crypto charts, and curating/blogging/reading here on Steemit... A pot of coffee is essential to building my wealth.

Now, I am sitting in a coffee shop here in Pattaya, Thailand; Writing this blog to share some simple but often passed over bit of advice:

Reinvest. In. Yourself. Always.

And if you would, please cast a vote for me as a witness? As most of my followers see, I have been actively voting those who help me. I stand committed to helping the community, and will never be powering down any funds from my witness account. 100% reinvestment!
