Everyone is a unique individual and each person brings their own flavor into your life. Life is like a big kitchen where everyone is an ingredient to be added to an exceptional recipe. Some will be sweet and some will be spicy while others can be bitter. Everyone brings a little something different that can change the taste or texture of the meal.
As with anything in life, you always have a choice and sometimes you have several that you did not know existed. If you added an ingredient into your recipe and it changed the taste to where it is not edible what would you do? Throw it out or try to improve it? Exactly, that is exactly how you should live your life, experiment and if it doesn’t work out and you have tried to add additional ingredients and it didn’t work, then it is time to throw it out, clean the pot and start over again.
Dealing with people and their different personalities will always be challenging however that is how some of the best dishes are created. Have you ever watched the best chefs in the world create their signature dish? Just watch the process and you will see how passionate they are, the level of focus and of course the practice that they have when they create their masterpiece. Now imagine if everyone in life operated that way. Imagine how many beautiful experiences could be had.
If the chefs accidentally add the wrong ingredient, two things can happen; one, it will either enhances the flavor or option two, it will ruin it. However, you don’t know how things will blend together if you don’t taste it before making the decision. Once you have determined that it is not edible then you have the option of throwing it out. If you deem that the creation is still worth continuing with then you may have just created a masterpiece of your own that others may want to ask for the recipe.
Go out there and don’t be afraid to blend. The worst that can happen is that you have to start again however with practice it will be a little easier because you know what amounts of certain ingredients work and what doesn’t. You never know you may be the next top chef to have created a signature dish. We all have it in us to create, it is just a matter of whether or not you try.
