Apple-Lemon Meringue Pie | 'Facing Difficulties' - Explained by the Philosophical Chef.



 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.

(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.
