With this one last pinch of seasoning my soup recipe is complete.  It is with absolute zeal that I have explored myself and my journey in life, thus far, in creation of my personal soup recipe.  My determination and eagerness to create this series has brought great joy to me over the many hours of contemplating words choices, selecting the precise word, and then expressing how it fit into my life.

I have great zeal about touching people’s lives.  Motivating people to create the life they only dream of living.  Sharing the way I have transformed my life from a childhood dream into a grown up reality.  Step by step we can change.  I want to be part of that change.

When I began writing “Alphabet Soup” I was a new blogger starting his first series.  I was zealous, filled with a burning to desire create a blog that had “fresh ingredients.” My goal was to create content that was meaningful.  Words that would represent who I am.  Words to make you think.  Words to inspire you to look inside your heart.  Ideas to challenge your intellect.  A gentle appeal to your spirit.

Each day some new ingredient comes into our lives.  The challenge of incorporating it into my recipe fills me with excitement……with joy!

The same recipe yields the same results.  What is your recipe for success? For happiness? For fulfillment?

It is time for you to “make your own soup.”

One hint: start with a pinch of zeal!!

Food is the universal bond that connects every living person and creature.  Some live to eat, while others eat to live.  The greatest number of transactions that occur everyday happen with food.  We buy.  We sell. We trade. We share. We give. We take.  We bake. There are endless varieties of food; beautiful and nutritious plants that yield fruits, nuts, and vegetables, fish and meats, dairy products, artisanal breads, desserts, spices, herbs, drinks, and so many man made dishes.

We share life over food at tables around the world.  We eat on the go. Fast food. The slow food movement. Comfort food!  There are endless relationships we have with food.  Food represents our cultures, our ethnicity, our families,  and our histories.

It is with food in mind, that  I think about business, my business or any business.  What are the ingredients of the business?  Are they fresh?  Do they represent the owners? the employees? what about the customers?  How are they combined to bring about something new and tasty and exciting that people want to buy, share and tell others about?  What are the skills needed to bring these ingredients together?

Everyday requires us to look at our recipe!  Can it be improved?  Should it be tweaked?  Maybe the dish is perfect but needs to be shared with more people in more places.  Perhaps today we look at how to add a new side dish to our already successful menu.

The same recipe brings about the same results!!

What is your recipe for success?
