Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon
I'll tell what reckless is. What reckless is is calling [Bashar] Assad a reformer. What reckless is allowing Russia to come into Crimea and Ukraine. What reckless is is inviting Russia into Syria to team with Iran. That is reckless. And the reckless people are the folks in the White House right now. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are the reckless people.
It's not reckless, because when we leap, when we dive in, when we begin, only begin, we bring our true nature to the project, we make it personal and urgent. And it's not abandon, not in the sense that we've abandoned our senses or our responsibility. In fact, abandoning the fear of fear that is holding us back is the single best way not to abandon the work, the pure execution of the work. Later, there's time to backpedal and water down. But right now, reckless please.
At 21, you can live life with reckless abandon, as reckless as your abandon is. Then, at 30, there's something there are the supposed to be's. You're like, "I'm supposed to be doing this. I'm supposed to be doing that." You start measuring your life by what you think you're supposed to be doing. Having recently turned 40, it's like, "What the hell?! Why am I worried about what I'm supposed to be doing? What do I want to do?" You become fine with wherever the road takes you.
Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all.
Everything I do, I do with reckless abandon.
For me it's just about that self-confidence and finding what you love and just chasing after it with reckless abandon and never letting anyone tell you that you can't do something.
But the approach to recording this album was kind of an organized, chaotic approach where I wanted to maintain and preserve that wild abandon to creating.
I only know how to play two ways: reckless and abandon.
When you're telling a story, I think you should tell it to its fullest, with reckless abandon, and absolutely let it be what it is.
I have one desire now - to live a life of reckless abandon for the Lord, putting all my energy and strength into it.
Cooking is an art and patience a virtue. Careful shopping, fresh ingredients and an unhurried approach are nearly all you need. There is one more thing - love. Love for food and love for those you invite to your table. With a combination of these things you can be an artist
But in my weakness, my God is strong. When I was reckless, His reckless love chased me down and brought healing that I never experienced.
I started cooking for the love of cooking, and I am going to keep cooking whether there's a celebrity aspect to it or not.
My vision is to not only define food and cooking as an art, but to go back to the roots of cooking and showcase the process through a more simplistic, ethereal approach as an expression of life and living.
When one approach is not working to reach the desired goal, that's not a reason to abandon the goal. Instead, it is time to devise another approach.
Sadly, anarchy has gotten such a bad name. We don't really see much evidence of it because people associate it with reckless abandon.
