The Power of Following Instructions

bhillay

I used to never follow the cooking instructions that are listed on the back of packaged food. I felt that I knew what I was doing, or I didn’t like my food cooked the way that’s on the package. As a result, my food never came out consistent. It might taste good one time, then bad the next. Overcooked one time, then undercooked the next.

Over time I have realized that following the cooking instructions has increased my cooking skills tremendously. Not only do I follow the instructions, I make sure I have all the utensils and ingredients that are needed. I can now follow any recipe and cook just about anything (my baking skills still need a little work LOL).

In cooking and real life, we must follow the instructions. There are laws (instructions) to success. Things such as schooling, mentors, religion, etc. Instructions are designed to guide us towards success by minimizing errors and maximizing efficiency. Whether it’s cooking or achieving success in any other field, following the instructions can greatly increase our chances of success.

Follow the instructions

I never used to follow the cooking instructions when I first began to cook. As a result, my food never came out consistent. Something as simple as cooking a pot of oatmeal could be a challenge. One day the oatmeal would be too soupy, the next time the oatmeal would be too thick.

When I began to follow cooking instructions and recipes, I noticed a big improvement in the quality of the food I cooked and how consistent I could cook a good meal.

The cooking instructions are there for our success. We have to trust that they will lead us to a well cooked meal. Sometimes not following one small detail can change the entire outcome of a meal.

Life is the same way. We can either choose to live our lives any way that we want and get mixed results, or we can follow a set of instructions that will lead us to the ideal outcome for our lives. If you trust those instructions and follow them, the better off your life will be. If you veer off from the instructions, you may start to see results that you do not want.

You might have different beliefs than me, but no matter who you are and what your beliefs and values are, there is still some time of instructions or manual that you can follow to set you up for success. You don’t have to be the best “cook” to succeed in life, you just have to know how to follow instructions.
