What are the main ingredients in your life‪?‬ QSATA360

    • Society & Culture

I have an entrepreneur friend who has dedicated a significant amount of time to making the world a better place by helping people to make easy, healthier, food and beverage choices. He's done this once, twice, three times, and the next two ideas are already underway.
After a couple days together and a full day together on Saturday, I came home to what I thought would be a quiet house. Instead, it was full of (mostly) Germans celebrating Carnival. Perhaps the most important celebration of the year in Cologne. And instead of being offered some peace and quiet, I was offered a pina colada. I decided to say, "yes."
I don't really like (or remember liking) pina coladas. But *this* was the most delicious pina colada I've ever had.
And it got me thinking... why or how could I like something so much that I previously didn't like at all?
The answer wasn't hard to come up with -- it was the ingredients.
The PC Mixologist of the evening combined coconut water and coconut milk, fresh pineapple, and rum. Simple, solid ingredients. No added sugar, no added BS.
And that got me thinking... what are the main ingredients in my life? Am I using the best, freshest, simplest, no BS ingredients when it comes to the way I live, what I do, and the people I choose to spend it with?
And how do those ingredients influence the quality of the life I'm living and the experience I'm having?
How about you?
