If we had the body for it,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
you and I could eat pies the same way we do olives;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
in a single bite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But as humans,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
we\u2019re handicapped on that front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even if,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
many people act as if they\u2019re not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With other things than food too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A good example is this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMan, this is pointless. (\u2026) This job is pointless. (\u2026) I wish my job, no, my life had a purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Statements like these show how that worker is hungry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How big of a pie he\u2019d like to be able to eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not a bite-size one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A life-size one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fact is,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
looking at world-class competitive eater Molly Schuyler,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
back in 2017,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
going through almost 17 pounds of pie in 10 minutes,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
you understand there\u2019s a limit to how much someone can take in and swallow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All in a single bite. [ 1 ]<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The same applies to emotions too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As how many times,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
on the news,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
have we seen men and women break into tears after a tragedy has struck them or their family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was just too much for them to take and handle, at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And, least,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to remain unshaken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As if nothing happened and all was good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whatever happened,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
this pie of feelings had to be broken down in pieces,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
in order to be dealt with,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To imagine, then,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
that we can solve the problem of our life not having a purpose,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
in a single bite,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
is bold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even more so when you consider how much of a headache it is to identify the purpose of any job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yours, for starter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s impossible,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Only that competitive eaters,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and people going through grief,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
have more to teach us than we might think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In then end,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
you\u2019ve got the stomach for more pie than you think,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
if,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
you first break in small bites or pieces what you want to put your teeth \u201cin\u201d .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The same goes with problems you think need to be fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All depends of how willing you are to start chewing on the first piece;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat is it I can do today, at work, that will make me feel it\u2019s meaningful?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
