Recipe for Success: Help Me to Cook
I am updating the recipe for success after receiving great feedback from many friends. The original recipe was great but after experimenting, I found out that we can also take fewer steps. The end result is just as delicious if not more!
According to a rumor that appears to originate from one of the Le Cordon Bleu schools, the recipe for success has already been cooked to perfection by various renowned chefs. It seems that there can be different ingredients and ways of cooking for the same dish. Consequently, the results can be as varied and flavorful; producing unique palate experiences.
Don’t laugh but here is the secret that I found out from inside sources of award-winning culinary chefs: the ones that win rave reviews are those that strangely create in their consumers……the miraculous effect of balancing their chakras and sending them on an instantaneous flight to heaven, with just a single bite.

Indeed, the pinnacle of success is the glorious moment when mind, body and spirit connects. It is the moment of awakening to the pleasures of living. Thereafter as the food melts in our mouth, we experience tingling waves of pleasurable sensations throughout our entire body.
Now, if you have watched the animated show Ratatouille, it is the exact moment where the notoriously hard-to-please food critic “The Grim Eater” takes his first bite in a home cooked dish made by Remy, the aspiring chef (which happens to be a rat). It hits home for the food critic, reawakening a pleasant reminder from childhood. It is food for the soul!
In the same manner, the dish success leaves a tantalizing but lingering memory in our taste buds even way after we had digested the gastronomical delight. Success becomes a lasting legacy, a tribute to the chef who put every heart and soul to its creation. And it can be yours too!
The Recipe for Success Ingredients
What is the recipe for successful achievement?
To my mind there are just four essential ingredients:
choose a career you love, give it the best there is in you,
seize your opportunities, and be a member of a team.
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
To cook an excellent meal, the best quality ingredients are obviously needed. We cannot afford to go cheap, quick or convenient. Best if we can get the ingredients direct from source. We don’t want use ingredients that are toxic or hormone-injected, by any chance. Neither do we want to buy them from manufacturers or producers who are not of pure intent. We also want our ingredients to come from sustainable farming.
Success is conventionally cooked with the ingredients of goal setting, detailed mission planning, motivation and so on. Still, I am going to lay out my interpretation for a standard recipe for success. The ingredients are:
A slice of dream.
A dash of inspiration.
A can of courage.
One therapeutic long-lasting fragrant wine remedy called love.
Two squirts of creative juice.
Three pinches of perseverance.
Loads of smiles.
Sprinklings of Joy.
Instructions For Recipe for Success
1. Remove the frozen packet marked “dream” on its plastic cover from the freezer.
2. Place dream in a big mixing bowl and defrost overnight to room temperature.
3. Remove the black seeds found on the slice of dream. These are seeds of fear.
4. Pour in the therapeutic wine remedy called love.
5. Heap spoonfuls from the can of courage into the mixing bowl. The number of spoonfuls should correspond with the amount that you need.
6. Mix contents in the bowl thoroughly with loads of smiles.
7. Transfer the contents from the mixing bowl into a pan and turn on heat.
8. Add a dash of inspiration, two squirts of creative juice and three pinches of perseverance.
9. Bring to boil and continue to stir until there is a superbly delicious smell.
10. Garnish Success with sprinklings of joy on a plate.
Finally, celebrate Success with wine and flowers.
Secret Winning Formula to Recipe for Success
If you have cooked before, you would know that following a recipe may not necessarily produce the same taste eventually. Not even if it is a recipe by famous celebrity chef such as Jamie Oliver. I dare say it is likely to be the same with cooking “success”.
Because of this, I believe that while it helps to follow a standard recipe, you will still have to find your best winning formula!
So here I am; still working on perfecting my secret recipe, spending hours in experimentation. I am hoping to make my recipe for success unique.
I wouldn’t mind having some help, though 🙂 If you know of an ingredient or a step that I am missing, feel free to share. Who knows? Your contribution may be just what is needed in a whole new way of cooking success.
Wishing you much success in the kitchen of life!
Abundance always,
