Does it ring true in nature?

This is a great question to ask at various stages of relationships, businesses, and even your very own life?

Seasons | Change, endings, and new beginnings are the rhyming theme of all things.

Ecosystems | Even what appears to be uncorrelated can actually be correlated. It’s all connected.

The collective good | Wind, rain, fire are working together to continually usher life and beauty into its various forms.

Growth followed by loss | You can’t get from summer to spring without autumn and winter.

Loss followed by renewal and growth | The hidden and unseen work is always laying the foundation for tomorrow’s growth.

Night and day | You won’t always be able to see well. And even when you can’t see well, give it time for your eyes to adjust to seeing in the dark.

If it’s not something you can see happening beneath your feet or before your eyes, it might be short-lived, unsustainable, unhealthy, and unrealistic.

The Chef Sessions No. 4 with Adana’s Shota Nakajima – Seattle, WA

adana

Chef Shota Nakajima began his culinary journey at the age of sixteen, working for a well-acclaimed sushi restaurant in his hometown of Seattle, WA. At the age of eighteen, Nakajima moved to Osaka, Japan to learn about the art of Japanese cuisine. In Japan, Nakajima had the opportunity to work for Michelin Star rated Chef Yasuhiko Sakamoto. As one would expect, this experience changed Chef Shota’s perspective on cooking.

Since returning to Seattle, it has been Nakajima’s dream to convey Chef Sakamoto’s approach to hospitality and Japanese cuisine in the United States.

Learn more about Chef Shota and Adana below.

What we say yes to will make our life.

What we say no to will save our life.

The sting.

Regret.

It’s the most excruciating sting in the human experience.

What we didn’t say or convey. What we didn’t do or create. What we kept in our head and hearts instead of handing off to another.

These are the roots of so much that stings in our lives.

So before the clock hits 5:00,

…before you head home,

…before you turn on Jimmy Fallon and fall asleep,

…what will you do to avoid the sting?

…Who will you connect with?

…How will you touch the world, your industry, or your neighbor?

What will your verse be?

In the end, I’m glad I did > I wish I had.
