Many times our social groups are like a crockpot.
Slowly the group becomes more of who we are, more of what we like to do, we become more like the others in the “pot”.
Ensure the ingredients are wholesome and the dish will be nourishing.
One bad onion hurts the pot

A garnish makes a plate look pretty but rarely offers something new to the dish, rarely advances flavor.
Maybe some of us are so focused on how good we look, or our appearance to others that we have neglected our ‘nutritional value’
Too much garnish is garish
Kobe beef is made from a “lazy cow”, however there is nothing lazy about the process for the workers. It is a labor of love.
This being said, the laborers are rewarded for the “laziness” of the animal.
Don’t be the cow and let someone else have your own gain.
Why am I alive?
Biologically: To survive and procreate
Religiously: To live a dedicated life to God
Philosophically: To determine oneself
Realistically: To eat Mac n’ Cheese
Some recipes are complex, others are quite simple.
Sometimes very bold ingredients don’t need much more.
Sometimes a large group of flavors help each other.
But we shouldn’t have the same meal every single day.
Why not take the same approach with human interaction

If all you consume is candy corn your body will have candy corn results.
The same rings true for relationship. Surface level interaction results in surface level results.

Motivation for today:
If someone buys a yellow banana and peels it open to see brown they will be disappointed.
But if some buys a bruised banana with a purpose, like bread, they are never upset by it.
If we put a false appearance over our bruises people will react poorly
B U!
Popcorn is universally loved.
To get popcorn the kernel has to go through extreme pressure and heat.
Maybe we are suppose to be popcorn, but to get to our potential we have to go through the pressure.
A good stew spends a long time simmering to bring the flavors together. The time over the burner breaks down individual ingredients into one dish
Maybe relationships are like that too, and maybe it’s not bad to lose yourself a little in the process
Maybe you’ll find something new
Some foods should never be mixed But this is only discovered upon mixing them.
Similarly, some people don’t work well together.
Knowing who you work well with sometimes means finding out who you don’t. Don’t be scared of garlic and strawberries, it brings you closer to shortcake
Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get. What a beautiful and inspirational thing to say.
Just because you don’t know what you’re going to get does not mean you won’t eat the chocolates. How many times have we all eaten a candy we didn’t expect?
No one is upset when someone says they will bring ice cream. No matter what the flavour people love ice cream.
Why isn't it the same way with people? Why do we get so upset over petty issues?
People should be treated more like ice cream.
We can learn two things from a thriving tree.
The first is that a healthy tree is always grounded, it never forgets its roots.
The second is that a tree is most valued when it is producing product for other people, but before it gets there it has years of growing.
Be A Tree
