Life in general can become mediocre when left in continual routine and lacking any interest. When one finds themselves in this un-tasteful predicament the solution can be found in one simple word. PASSION. It is the north point to the compass to life and our key to finding happiness in what we do.
A life without passion is like a world with out color. Or better yet, food without flavor. Passion is one of the many spices of life (I hope that’s not too much of a cliché). What is the point to living if there's no flavor? When given the option of a delicious Coldstone creation or a scoop of plain vanilla ice cream, most do not go for the plain and simple. As humans we desire more. However, just because we want more does not mean we strive to achieve it. With that said, it is essential to posses passion in every aspect of life. If life were that scoop of ice cream, passion would be the mixed in cookie dough or sprinkles that make it exciting. (This whole Coldstone analogy is the effect of living with three girls who work there and bring it home on a daily basis. Got of love my roomies. =] )
The passion in my life revolves around baking. I've practically been baking since I could crawl. I was never the All-Star athlete or the theater fanatic. But I was always good in the kitchen. Then one day I made the connection. My dad taught me growing up “Find something your good at, and find a career in it”. That is why I now know my future. I AM going to open a bakery…someday. And until that day comes, I'll be here enhancing my baking skills and deepening my admiration for food.
