'I Am' Right Where I Want to Be

'I Am' Right Where I Want to Be

A powerful statement, in my opinion, that captures the true essence of where you are and where you are going. For years I had that headline written on an old coffee stained prep list and placed on the refrigerator door.

Every day it reminded me to reflect on where I was as a person, as an artist and most importantly, as a chef. It inspired me to always chase my goals whether personal or professional, and never to become complacent in my thoughts nor my actions.

I would look at each action I was taking to better myself for a reaction that would not only benefit me but also the chefs under me as well as the guests we were there for.

If you are not where you want to be, take action. Remove 'distraction' from your life and focus on action. 'I am, right where I want to be', should be a phrase you can utter every day with the assurance and conviction of belief in where you are each day.

As a chef, it is important to prep for service. As a person it is also important to prep for life. Are you where you want to be?

Great thoughts! Too often we forget that where we are now is an important stepping stone on the path of life. We need to dedicate ourselves to the immediate in order to progress along the journey.
