The challenge for the
day was to find a fast-food chain that would be up for accepting my request to
cook the raw 2kg whole chicken I was holding in my hand.
This was the first of
my food related challenges and it was one experience I will remember for a very
long time. Never have I walked into a place and caused such a reaction.
Both staff and customers, gobsmacked by the request.
After the initial
rejection, I was met with sheer shock and laughter. I sustained my deadpan face
but my inner being was experiencing a new found euphoria.
This coming out of
your comfort zone stuff has changed my whole outlook on life. In this situation
there wasn't much room for trying to convince them to accept the offer. It was
more about my ability to sink or swim with my words when put in such a unique
situation.
"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' " - Eleanor Roosevelt
