The first pancake

You know the first pancake you make is always a bit too greasy (whether you use butter or oil to start in the pan).

It is the trial run.

It tells you if the pan is too cool or too hot, and it usually is at the bottom of the stack after you are full and satisfied.

So why do we keep the first pancake?

Are we settling or wanting to make sure there is enough to go around?

Why not throw it out and only keep the best?

It is such a great metaphor for life.

Keep what is most important in our life and get rid of what is not serving us.

Stop holding on to subpar in hopes that something better will come along.

What if we just knew we would always throw out the first pancake and trust that we would have enough and what we do have is important.
