Several years ago, I wrote a book titled Recipes for Health, Sex, Happiness, and Love. Each recipe in the book included ingredients that supported the four things I believed were the ingredients for success: good health, great sex, lasting love, blissful happiness, and indulging in great and exciting sustenance (foods and drinks), which provide the essential essence of life.

The definition of a recipe as given by answers.com is:


  1. A set of directions with a list of ingredients for making or preparing something, especially food.

  2. A formula for or means to a desired end.

  3. A medical prescription.


Now, my book does have directions with a list of ingredients for making or preparing something, especially food. It is about a formula for or means to a desired end, a recipe for success. It could be a medical prescription if you consider the medical benefits of food concerning health, sex, love, and happiness.


This book is more than a set of recipes. It's about how to live a successful life, find pleasure and joy in the simple things in life, and be creative with or without wealth. Hopefully, it will contain morsels of wisdom that add flavors to life. For what is life without a little flavor, a little sugar, and a little spice? As the French say, Joie de Vivre.

 

Where do recipes come from? They come from everyday life and are to be shared. We prepare them to break bread, celebrate, care for, share with, derive good health from, sexually entice with, prepare with love, and celebrate the happy moments in our lives. Food sits at the center of the many moments of our lives, both large and small. It defines a culture. It heals, it soothes, and it nourishes our bodies, our minds, and our souls. A wise person understands that you are what you eat.

 

Wisdom is the ultimate goal of life. As we mature, wisdom befriends the body, the mind, and the soul. But wisdom does not come quickly. It comes through many moments of trial and error. To be wise, you must know; to know, you must experience; to gain experience, you must live. Develop a direction, give it the right ingredients, and make it medically healthy, and you have a recipe for a successful life. To do this, you must be willing to be the "chief cook and bottle washer" of your life.

 

A good cook knows all the failures that lead to success. A curious cook is not afraid to experiment. The essence of success is trial and error, repeated until we achieve something delicious. Then wisdom teaches us that perfection does not make for success. It's the act of doing that leads to success. So, what better way to traverse the road to success than focusing on our health, sexuality, happiness, and love? What else could there be? Perhaps wealth? If you have your health, you are sexually satisfied, you're happy, and you have love in your life, you are very wealthy.


A wise person understands this to be true. As is in cooking, so it is in life.
