Indeed, Life Is A Puzzle

 

YES, LIFE IS A PUZZLE.  BUT much has been said about that [and it's NOT even debatable].  BUT if we dice-and-drill here, YES, every piece of that puzzle is required to complete that whole PUZZLE even WHILE some may have rough edges and some smooth.  Regardless, both the rough and smooth parts all play the same role to complete that whole PUZZLE.  Up until a few months ago, I hadn't put my hands on a jigsaw PUZZLE for many years.  Recently I worked for a couple of it and looking back, I see lessons from these jigsaw PUZZLES that do illuminate important concepts and parallels to life📗📙📘

Like a PUZZLE, we are all made up of many pieces, probably thousands or more of it.  And YES, we need all of our pieces to be a WHOLE PERSON.   I can imagine a 3D PUZZLE person standing up and walking from the scene of a PUZZLE.  All of the pieces of the person travel together.  BUT WHILE entering into an interaction, the only pieces that are involved are the ones that serve a purpose in that scenario.  Then, the 3D PUZZLE person moves along to the next interaction engaging with whichever pieces are right for the new scenario.  And the people that spend a lot of time with us can see all of our pieces💥💥💥

If we walk around the malls, I do observe that PUZZLES seem popular.  And I did wonder HOW and WHY it can be that popular and powerful.  And psychologists explained this clearly that PUZZLES are a great metaphor in life serving as a symbol of the challenges and obstacles that stand in our way, especially after you would have gone through a lot of 'turbulent challenges' in life💧💧💧

Here's a common and recurring observation.  WHEN we open a PUZZLE, all the pieces are scattered and jumbled.  WHAT NEXT?  By focusing on just one piece, one section at a time, we can turn turn things around by turning all the fractured pieces into something complete and beautiful [once formed completely].  Part of the power of PUZZLES are the perspective and optimism they do represent [even in life]💚💛💜

Our takeaway:  Part of the power of the PUZZLES are the perspective and optimism they represent.  That is WHERE we can draw the parallelism with life itself.  Playing itself can be amazing as it calms our anxieties [especially in uncertain times] BUT if your PUZZLING skills seem rusty, as in life, approach PUZZLES one piece at a time, a little delayed gratification never hurt anyone anyway.  And it is important to appreciate all the small details that make up the larger picture and enjoy our journey in life😋😋😋
