Flavors of Life

Whenever i have gone to the restaurant and ordered for beef stew it always seems to have a different taste from the one that i prepare in my house.The only is a key ingredient in both is beef. The reason the beef stew tastes different is usually because of the other additional ingredients those preparing choose to add. At the end of the day the key ingredient can stand on its own and all what other ingredients used does is give it a different flavor.

Looking at it in everyday life. As an individual you remain a key component in making the meal your life. It doesn't mean that without the things that the world offers like spouse, physical assets you cannot live a complete life. In real sense these things remain a flavoring into one's life. With or without the flavors the meal of life would be complete because the key ingredients ( God and Oneself) are in existence.

Of importance to remember is that just like the additional ingredients while making beef stew can make it taste good they can make it taste bad. The key thing for the chef while making his stew is to balance them appropriately with the beef just to give it the right taste. Its up to the chef to know that a kilo of beef may need more flavors compared to a quarter kilo of beef.

In the same way an individual needs to find balance of their life and the things that aren't a constant in their life. Recognize that a spouse could be a carrot and not having carrots the beef can still have coriander and taste good. Recognize that the flavors of life can be substituted for each other but never can you substitute the beef for chicken as that becomes chicken stew not beef stew. God and an individual are the key ingredient in life. Don't let the flavors alter your key meal and overpower you. Don't let a spouse rule over your life. Don't let a friend rule over your life. Find balance and learn to substitute the flavors and enjoy your beef stew which is your life.
