Tip of the Week: Patience — The Secret Ingredient

My father taught me patience through cooking. He always said that food — just like life — cannot be rushed. No matter how badly you want it, great flavor takes time.

When you marinate your meat, you give the flavors time to soak in. When you slow-cook a dish, you allow every ingredient to blend perfectly. That’s the same way you should treat your life.

Opportunities and dreams don’t always arrive when you want them to. But if you prepare yourself, let your skills marinate, and season yourself with knowledge and experience, you’ll be ready when the time comes.

Just like dough needs time to rise before it becomes bread, you need time to grow into your best self. Be patient. Stay ready. And when the moment is right — serve your life with confidence, knowing it’s seasoned to perfection.
