Puzzle

I have come to look at life as an "enlightened" logic game. Now, coming from me this is amusing, as I am known for my intuition and my heart, but logic? I do like puzzles though- all kinds of puzzles and life is certainly puzzling. More so than that, it is a series of moves, exchanges of energy, putting things in place in order to make room for something else. For instance, if you are working on a jigsaw puzzle, all the pieces are right in front of you but the picture can't be completed all at once without putting the other pieces together first. The picture is there and it is always beautiful and attainable, but it takes a piece at a time, just like your life. You can't force it and in time all the pieces match, but patience is the key. How beautiful could life be if we knew that our picture was already painted and our part was to have fun learning where everything goes, moving things here and there, experimenting, triumphant at times, failing at others, but always sure of a victorious outcome? This is how successful people think! We tend to think of the tortured soul who is uncomfortable with his own genius, but truly successful people already know that their picture is complete, so it doesn't matter where the pieces fall because it is going in it's rightful place. Take comfort in knowing your moves are a part of a bigger plan and believe that the journey of learning and discovery is what life is really all about. The ending will come, of that we can be sure. Everything else unfolds as it will, and we can either worry about what the picture will look like or just learn to love the picture as it unfolds effortlessly before our very eyes.
