First Pancakes

First pancakes are a thing!

If you’ve ever cooked a batch of pancakes, you know how the first is always a practice run. It rarely turns out as we expect.

Imagine if we stopped at the first pancake.

If we believed in failure being fatal,

If we listened to the voice of ‘not good enough’,

If we forgot that practice makes better,

Then we might stop at that first pancake.

But first pancakes are a thing. As are first anythings.

So next time we experience that first pancake, or that first anything, best move on to the second, don’t you agree.
