Bakit wala ng "Donuts" sa Dunkin' Donuts 🍩

DUNKIN' na lang sila ngayon, napansin mo ba?

Here's why:

Nag invest sila ng $100M to refresh the brand.

but this is more than rebranding,

It's more of a business decision.

Dunkin' wanted to shift away from just donuts,

pero syempre nag bebenta parin sila nun.

They wanted to gear towards coffee and other offers ☕️

Infact binawasan nila ang donut flavors, at nagdagdag ng more coffee and drinks as options.

THEY WANT TO COMPETE WITH STARBUCKS!

Also, people are more health conscious these days 🥗

and when you think about Donuts, ang maiisip mo matamis. 🐜

Sugar = Unhealthy! ❌

That's why they offer sandwiches nadin. 🥪

If a very succesful 70-year old Multi Billion Dollar company is trying to reinvent itself.

Kaya din natin! 💪

Kaya wag mong sabihin na:

❎ "40 years old na ako eh."
❎ "20+ years na akong accountant."
❎ "Banker na ako all my life."
❎ "Ito na ang course ko eh."

You can always reinvent yourself kung gugustuhin mo. 💯

PS:
Medium Coffee nga pala to,
(Gaano kaliit yung small?)

A young couple moved into a new house.
The next morning while they were eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbor hanging the washing outside.

"That laundry is not very clean; she doesn’t know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better soap powder.
Her husband looked on, remaining silent.
Every time her neighbor hung her washing out to dry, the young woman made the same comments.
A month later, the woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband, "Look, she’s finally learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this?"
The husband replied, "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows."
And so it is with life… What we see when watching others depends on the clarity of the window through which we look.
So don’t be too quick to judge others, especially if your perspective of life is clouded by anger, jealousy, negativity or unfulfilled desires.
"Judging a person does not define who they are. It defines who you are." 💯 Love this! 😊

This. Hits. Hard. 🖤🔥

The inability to receive support from others is a trauma response.

Your “I don’t need anyone, I’ll just do it all myself” conditioning is a survival tactic. And you needed it to shield your heart from abuse, neglect, betrayal, and disappointment from those who could not or would not be there for you.

From the parent who was absent and abandoned you by choice or the parent who was never home from working three jobs to feed and house you.

From the lovers who offered sexual intimacy but never offered a safe haven that honored your heart.

From the friendships and family who ALWAYS took more than they ever gave.

From all the situations when someone told you “we’re in this together” or “I got you” then abandoned you, leaving you to pick up the pieces when s**t got real, leaving you to handle your part and their part, too.

From all the lies and all the betrayals.

You learned along the way that you just couldn’t really trust people. Or that you could trust people, but only up to a certain point.

Extreme-independence IS. A. TRUST. ISSUE.

You learnt: if I don’t put myself in a situation where I rely on someone, I won’t have to be disappointed when they don’t show up for me, or when they drop the ball... because they will ALWAYS drop the ball EVENTUALLY right?

You may even have been intentionally taught this protection strategy by generations of hurt ancestors who came before you.

Extreme-independence is a preemptive strike against heartbreak.

So, you don’t trust anyone.

And you don’t trust yourself, either, to choose people.

To trust is to hope, to trust is to be vulnerable.

“Never again,” you vow.

But no matter how you dress it up and display it proudly to make it seem like this level of independence is what you always wanted to be, in truth it’s your wounded, scarred, broken heart behind a protective brick wall.

Impenetrable. Nothing gets in. No hurt gets in. But no love gets in either.

Fortresses and armor are for those in battle, or who believe the battle is coming.

It’s a trauma response.

The good news is trauma that is acknowledged is trauma that can be healed.

You are worthy of having support.
You are worthy of having true partnership.
You are worthy of love.
You are worthy of having your heart held.
You are worthy to be adored.
You are worthy to be cherished.
You are worthy to have someone say, “You rest. I got this.” And actually deliver on that promise.
You are worthy to receive.
You are worthy to receive.
You are worthy.

You don’t have to earn it.
You don’t have to prove it.
You don’t have to bargain for it.
You don’t have to beg for it.

You are worthy.
Worthy.
Simply because you exist.
