The Big Bites

Someone once said, ~Life is like a sandwich. Sometimes you eat the sandwich, and sometimes the sandwich eats you.~ As said before, life can be compared to a footlong subway sandwich and the more you add to it the better it becomes whereby each bite you take is simply enjoyable. Yet, there are times where many of us may possibly bite off more than we can chew when it pertains to aspects of life such as work, friendship, family, love, and/or marriage. Hey, its what life is all about as we, in a sense, mix it up with the best ingredients that are before us in order to make a seemingly tasteful combination worthy enough to be considered of great value. Essentially, when it comes to fulfilling your appetite in life do you live it healthy, spicy, or with reckless abandon?

Let me ask you this question, are you the type of person who prefers ordering the Veggie Delite subway sandwich? For in this increasingly health conscious society there are those individuals who look to not only eat healthy and watch their calorie intake in the foods they eat to the point where meat is cut out leading one to possibly become a vegetarian, but they also stay fit by exercising daily. It's most definitely a challenging situation indeed for those who have been able to successfully trim the fat, so to speak, of certain aspects of life, to where they continually experience for themselves a fervent energy within. What it comes down to is having the willpower to avoid indulging in the proverbial guilty pleasures of life that you know are wrong for you.

William Cowper said, ~Variety is the spice of life.~ Without a doubt, there are people out there who enjoy the taste of a spicy subway Italian sandwich and in turn they like to spice things up when it comes to their own life as well. Thinking about it, a person considers life a bit more interesting when it changes often and with so many different, exciting, memorable, strange, etc. flavors of life you experience over a period of time you can't help but be in awe when you look back on it all. Oftentimes, by making those experiences happen for yourself you're for all intents and purposes sinking your teeth into the so-called hot peppery unknown of life that can surely leave your taste buds burning with desire to make an impact both personally and professionally.

For the question can be asked, how many of you could care less about counting calories or being burned by hot peppers as you partake in the Big Philly Cheesesteak Subway sandwich? Thinking about it, if you're like me you're the type of carnivorous person who tears into the sometimes tough meaty goodness of life by not only making certain aspects of life happen by doing something totally insane like skydiving for instance, but also waiting in God's time for that someone special to appear in your life. You see, it can be frustrating to keep chewing on life's toughest situations, in a manner of speaking, and feel like you're not going anywhere, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. Let me tell you something, just keep chewing or should say praying to God because He answers prayers.

In retrospect, there are times where life isn't that fulfilling as you're left feeling hungry and then there are times where it is absolutely fulfilling as you experience moments that leave you stuffed beyond belief. If you think about it, each one of us is provided with a plethora of rich ingredients like our friends, family, career/job, strong marriage, faith in God, etc. that help make our own life savory and sweet. I think we can all agree nobody wants a life that ends up being stale to the point where the ingredients didn't mix well at all leaving you to experience the bitter/sour aftertaste of heartbreak, drama, frustration, anger, disappointment, etc. In the end, whatever ingredients you have in your own personal sandwich don't waste your time nibbling at life because it's no fun and instead just enjoy the big bites.
