Do it!

My job as a pastry chef is to rush to make food, put food on plates, scream for runners as ice cream melts into puddles, and, ultimately, work twice as hard to receive half the pay of what the waiter serving the food gets.  I realize that it's the nature of the job, but I know now that I don’t want to do this for the rest of my life.  I’ve said this many times before.  It’s time to DO something about it. 

Or as my fellow chef friend CJ likes to say, “Saying means nothing.  DO it.”

I've been looking for guidance and answers from a few sources lately, and I keep finding the same message: Do what you love.  I've been communicating with another chef friend Mikey about this lately.  He recommended a great little book to me, Hugh MacLeod's "Evil Plans: Having Fun on the Road to World Domination."  Everyone talks about what they want out of life, but how many people are willing to take action and commit to the work it takes?  

Time to shut up and do it already.
