Have you ever been offered the crumbs at the bottom of a bag of chips?
What is funny about the crumbs at the bottom of the bag of chips is that while they are full of flavor, they are all broken and just fragments of the whole that you wanted, they leave you wanting more and you often feel unfulfilled.
When you imagine chips, do you picture the whole bag or do you picture the crumbs at the bottom?
If you have ever eaten the crumbs at the bottom of the bag of chips, did you try to tell yourself that they were good enough? Did you try to tell yourself that you could get by with just the crumbs? Did you tell your friends and family how flavorful the chips were, but leave out that they were fragments of the whole chips and left you always wanting more?
This is the thing though, if I handed you a bag of whole chips and then a bag with only crumbs in the bottom, which would you pick?
The next time you are handed a bag of crumbs, regardless of whether this bag represents work, a lover, or a friend, ask yourself if you deserve the whole chips or just the leftovers.
