Our ability to digest is a determining factor in how much we can take on, and also how we feel about what it is we have on our proverbial plate. Good digestion gives us confidence, clarity and the ability to say "Bring it!" with enthusiasm. When digestive fire (Agni) is strong, we can extract the nutrients from that which doesn't serve us, and then whatever it is we have on our plate can feed us, grow is. If the fire is weak in relationship to the amount of stuff that sits on it, we may feel stuffed, overwhelmed, frantic, and ironically undernourished considering how much richness is available to us.
So if your plate is full, your guts are full, your life is full, and you still feel overworked and underpaid, it could be that the fire you have isn't enough to digest your life. Or food.
So when we say yes, more please, take a breath and see if our eyes are bigger than our fire. When we find that balance, we digest our "food," we get hungry for more. Then when we say "bring it," we mean it. We are ready for it.
This "bring it" attitude comes with an inherent sense of confidence, clarity, and fearlessness. So the more we listen and know what we are capable of digesting in any given moment, the more efficient and joyous our process of living becomes.
