You’re making a cup of tea, or coffee perhaps. For the sake of this example, you take either with sugar and milk. Everything goes into the cup, you boil the water, you mix everything up.
What does the initial mixture look like?
Well, at first it’s a bit of a mess, yet it forms beautiful swirly patterns, the dark brown becomes caramel-coloured, and, with the same ingredients, you stir and stir until it all comes together.
Such is life.
There are so many ingredients, so many influences and every time you add the same contents, you will get a slightly different version each time.
It’s okay. You can’t control all the aspects, maybe one day you have a slightly sweeter tooth and you add more sugar, maybe another day you want it stronger so you add a double dose of tea/coffee or less milk.
Learn to be flexible, everything is coming together, you just need to do your part and keep stirring until you get to your desired stage.
You’re figuring things out – give yourself a break – a tea or a coffee break!
