It’s all about the small wins! ⚡️ This new year, I set a goal to improve in one area I was horrible at - cooking. So I asked my son what he would like to eat, and he said 'dosa.’ I had no idea how to make this so I thought of watching YouTube videos and learning it by myself. Last week when I tried making dosas, I failed miserably. It made me feel pretty bad. But I thought I should not give up. Determined to improve, I decided to give it another shot. Last morning, after watching around 10 YouTube videos, I took the time to prepare the dosa batter properly. And after getting back from office, I took time to make proper preparations for making the dosa. Finally today I was able to make dosa and sambar! For someone like me, who knew almost nothing about cooking, it felt like a big achievement. When my son appreciated the dosa after tasting it, it made me really happy. This taught me that joy really comes from the small things. Here's what worked for me: 1. Set a goal to get better at something. 2. Learn as much as you can—I watched a bunch of videos. 3. Go for it—Execution is key here. Also, I would like to add a small suggestion for others - Appreciate when your friends and family when they are trying out something new, it gives them encouragement to get better. 😇 What is something that you are working on improving this year? Let me know in the comments. :)

Life and Work and Relationships are a lot like cooking.. Resist the urge to do more.. to make them "better" .. as doing so, will likely just mess it up 😂 One of my kids (shall remain nameless..) is cooking rice on the stove right now--and keeps wanting to stir it while it cooks. My question is this (though I have not asked it) "can you do better than our rice-cooker?" and of course the answer is "no-- nobody can do better than our rice cooker.." The circumstance just reminds me of all the cooking (AND life AND work AND relationship) circumstances where leaving well enough alone ('better is the enemy of good') is the correct answer (that I often messed up 😂 ) But-- feel free to stir that pot just a little more.. add just a bit more spice-- What could go wrong?? ;-) Have an Awesome week and Fantastic start to your New Year!!
