They WANT it.
Do you WANT it?
Can you TASTE it?

It used to taste to me
like a Big Mac. Then it used
to taste like Chili's on a Saturday.
Now,
success tastes like warm chestnuts and lychee fruit
on a street corner
in New York City's Chinatown.
And the Seafood Tower at Bobby Flay's Bar
Americain.
And pizza with vegetable toppings on a week night with
Diane while we take a break from work we love to do.
And brownies
our daughters bake when we least expect it.
Success tastes like
choices. And freedom. And love.
Dip a finger in and taste for
yourself!
