Food, Lovely Food!
As coaches, we often ask our clients a popular question, “What is your value”? Many people struggle trying to answer this question not because they don’t know their value but more of what value actually means!
My simple way of defining my value is ‘doing what will make me most happy! So if someone asks me this question, my instant answer will be ‘EATING‘ !!!
And I can swear to it that I mean it! The few things in my life have ‘food’ or ‘eating’ in its top 5 bucket list.
So where did I pick this up? I guess it has been an ‘era of deprivation’ that got me realise the big value of eating! My history of food had been laced with many incidents of starving due to no money or punishments, and my big appetite for food that my family’s financial position could not meet.
All of these factors stirred the food cravings in me till this very day. It’s apt to say that my other life mission is ‘live to eat’ from then till now. Yes, it may be unhealthy as the side effects could lead to a tummy round my waist and an overweight issue (that hasn’t threatened my life, yet).
Overall, I have managed to keep my cholesterol and sugar level under control with some discipline here and there. So in this sense, I’m quite healthy, so to speak.
So for many years now, my ‘Live to Eat’ mission is still very much on course, simply eating what I enjoy like the spicy stuff such as curries, tom yam, curry mee, and my ever-favourite, Mee Rebus for as long as I can. Peking duck and shark fin (my apologies to those who are against it) are also in my eating list.
There are more favourites but I stop here to maintain brevity of this blog post.
Everyone has values. Many of us differ. I have mine. I’m glad that I know what it is clearly.
Is yours food too? If not, what do you do with passion? Whatever it is, we have a reason to live happily.
