2016 is upon us. its not about making a new self, or changing the past. it all about how far you can push yourself this year. i wouldnt have thought to be where i am today. with hard work, long hours, and the biggest determination to get where i want to be is why i push myself beyond my limits. #newyear #pushyourselves #dedication #ambition #cheflife #truecooks #chefflavey (at Rat Beach)
