People aren't either evil or noble. They're like chef's salads, with fine things and terrible things chopped and mixed as one in vinaigrette of misunderstanding and disagreement

But cooking is about emotion - if you want to please someone, you have to do it with your heart. It's a therapy. Right spices and right attitude matters! Careful shopping, fresh ingredients and an unhurried approach are nearly all you need. There is one more thing – love.

Don’t judge yourself by your past, you don’t live there anymore. Just because you’re not where you want to be today, doesn’t mean you won’t be there someday. You can turn it all around in the blink of an eye, by making a simple choice to stand back up – to try again, to love again, to live again, and to dream again. No one can ride you, unless your back is bent. Be a critic, but only criticize yourself in areas that you know you need to grow.

Life is about who you love and who you hurt. It's about faith, glee, and kindness. Life is about shunning envy; rising above lack of knowledge, and building self-confidence. It's about what you utter and what you imply. It’s about seeing people for who they are and not what they have. The majority of all, it is about choosing to use your life to touch someone else's in a way that could by no means have been realize otherwise. These choices are what life's about.

A bit uncomfortable on a daily basis means you are aligned with your target. So be fearless at times. Have the guts to take the risk that feel right. Go where there are no promises. The road less traveled is sometimes laden with potholes, bump, and uncharted territory but it is on this highway where your strength grows and your dreams steadily reveal themselves. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.
