When we talk about the whole pie, we talk about the perfect crust; we talk about the freshly picked raspberry filling; we talk about the excellent whip cream display on top of it. Oh, and that garnish, too.
We treat a lot of our work and aspirations and dreams the same way.
Which is a bummer because it sets us up for frustration.
The whole pie also needs to include painstakingly managing the oven temperature and duration of bake time to ensure everything is cooked proportionality. We gotta talk about the blood drawn on our legs from the brush we walked through to pick the raspberries and that little rash that hasn’t totally gone away yet. We should probably talk about that person that hates pie and how we’ll deal with them, too.
We do ourselves a disservice when we ignore the hard work that goes into great work.
Of course it would be great to get a grant before we even do the pitch for it or that we’ll make people laugh at an improv show without hours of practice before showtime. That’s not the reality though.
We don’t help ourselves maintain grit and gumption when we ignore what really goes into a whole pie.
