The jigsaw of life.

Have you ever felt that something vital is missing that could make all the difference to your life, your business or your future? Do you yearn for that one deal, that one customer, that one call, that one relationship or that one crucial answer to your prayers that would solve all your problems?

Are you waiting patiently until that final piece is in place before you decide to move forward?...

I guess we all wait for the final piece of the jigsaw to fall into place from time to time and then we feel we can move on to start our next project or the next phase of our lives.   But is there an danger that lurks in the hours, days and months of waiting for the final piece? And is there a moment that we can miss in the haste to move on when what seems to be the final piece, does fall into place?

If we are forever waiting for things to be perfect, we can miss the magic of the journey and the present moment. If we move on too quick and don't take a look at our achievements when we DO conclude a project or enjoy our successes, then we miss the beauty that lies in our accomplishments. So perhaps the "final piece" never actually does or should arrive and we are always going to be searching for something more. Perhaps it's this constant   searching for something that's missing from our lives that actually keeps us in the flow of energy and maintains life itself?.....

So should we stop looking for the missing piece that will make everything fit as it's not there? Our life is just as it should be at any given moment and it's the everlasting search for the missing piece that keeps us moving forward. A search that may never be concluded but is filled with the wonder of life in each moment that we strive to be better, to show more kindness towards others and to reach for our dreams.

The jigsaw of life changes each day. The universe places extra pieces in front of us and we simply have to find out, in our own time, how they all fit together.   Frustrating as this may be, if we complete our jigsaw we have nothing else to strive for. So lets not seek the missing piece but rejoice in the picture of our lives that emerge each day as we piece it together, one day, one experience and one moment at a time.
