Let me have a quick review. Pie with soft meringue on top. There was a smoky flavor of the meringue. The crunchy pie crust and the lemony filling was heavenly.

“When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.”

(Narrator: We have another 'case' for the Philosophical Chef)
Difficulties in life are unavoidable. Tough decisions must be made at the right moment to encounter the difficulties.
I follow a simple way that helps me in my Culinary Laboratory. Replacing the word ‘difficult’ with ‘challenging’ changes our perspective towards hardships.
For example-
Rather than saying “This dish is difficult to master”, I say “This dish is quiet challenging to master”. This slight change in our perception has a deep effect in our sub-conscious mind and it will make myself ready to face the situation.
The 99% of humans have mistaken “Challenges” as “Difficulties”. Assuming our issues as “Challenges” is an effective method to push ourselves and break our limitations. Sometimes ‘Being Optimistic’ makes our life easier.
