I attended a large gala event for Les Clefs d’Or in Montreal. The appetizers were being passed around and all was festive and good when something extraordinary happened. A server asked me if I knew what the secret ingredient in the rock shrimp was? I answered pepper? He smiled and said, “No it’s love!” All done with a sly smile and a sense of joy, it immediately turned the ordinary task of servers walking around with passed hors d’oeuvres into an extraordinary moment. The part that I loved the most was that the waiter chose to earn a Psychic Salary instead of going automatically through the motions of the job.
The secret ingredient = LOVE
It’s all about finding work we love, bringing our love to it every day, sharing our love generously, and loving the moments you are on the job. The guests weren’t the only ones enjoying themselves. Now that is the benefit of love in action.
