Vision
I never cook without knowing what I want my end product to look like. Although there will be variations and flavor testing along the way, I know exactly how I want the presentation of my meal to be. Before I even start, I can almost taste it. Its allure slowly sheds as its shape begins to form in the process. But that does not stop me from striving to attain the picture-perfect final vision in my limited recipe catalog.
It’s important to have a vision in any aspect of life. Although we are modern-day monkeys, if we do not move forward in a direction, we are simply rotting in place. Or as Conor McGregor would call it the “stuck-in-the-mud division”. Don’t be afraid to have a vision and make it happen. It will either get more clear or blurry as you get closer to it, but that’s when you decide whether the vision was right for you, or that you should recalibrate.
Having a vision is important, but this should never interfere with your relationship with the present. Having the gratitude of the present will pay off in the future. Man needs to drive somewhere.
