subject: The Puzzle of Life [print this page] Life is just like a jigsaw puzzle full of different shaped pieces that eventually fit into one another to make the bigger picture.
First off we have the size of the puzzle and for some that can be a huge picture with many different scenes depicted, light and dark. Others it is just a delightful scene full of tranquillity and beautiful with the colours of the rainbow throughout.
Then we have themselves. Some are quite large making it simple to see where everything goes and others are very small that at times we are confused if they are the sky or the sea.
Certain peoples' lives are huge in their content and there is much to learn and discover and a great amount to sort out. Usually this is done by putting the corners' together; in real life terms sorting out the structure of what has to be learned and therefore gained. It is with these people that you find at times they confuse the sea with the sky' and find themselves going the wrong way for their own progression. This is when it is important to take stock of what is laid out before you, just like with a jigsaw puzzle.
See what is in front of you and what you have to deal with, lots of green, masses of blue and then try and fit them in the correct connections.
As with a jigsaw puzzle we have to know what we have and then we can arrange that to our benefit, the fuller picture.
Others have a much simpler life and they do not have so many different pieces to sort out; for example their home life is happy and content and this is represented by the corners of a puzzle. Each corner has a good amount of picture on it and there is no confusion if it is sea or sky'. Then the amount of pieces is not so large so it is less complicated to see the fuller picture and they place everything in the correct place.
Now the thing to do is to take stock of what pieces' you have in your own personal jigsaw puzzle, which is the journey of your life. If you have received a great education and perhaps you have succeeded to gain different degrees at University then perhaps you have strong corners which will give you the framework of what shape you are and what size you are to become. You might wish for a time to turn everything around and go against the format depicted in front of you. Yet at the end of everything your corners are strong and you will eventually see the whole story of your life and then enjoy putting it together.
If perhaps your life is made up of tiny bits of experience that seem to drain you of energy then it will take a time to put it all together and occasionally you will find you make the wrong choice as is shown with choosing the wrong piece of the puzzle thinking that it is the sky when it is actually the sea.
What happens when you do this? Well later along with the construction of the puzzle you begin to see that things do not fit well and you have to go back to the beginning and sort out where you went wrong.
What is the beginning? Well it is the framework of your life's journey, the corners of the puzzle. Go back to the start and remember to not use the sky when it was the sea and then you will find that your journey goes forward rather than stops and buckles as does a jigsaw when you try and force a piece into a place that it does not fit.
This action can be seen as a relationship that is not working and yet you are trying very hard to make it fit well', but eventually you will see that making it fit only buckles everything else.
Every piece of your personal jigsaw puzzle is important as is every event in your life. You cannot change it as you cannot rub out the past, but you can learn not to choose to use that piece again, as you can decide to make a different decision and then life as the puzzle will fit well and then be a joy to see when one day the whole picture comes into view.
