Every Piece is Meant
For You - Virgil Kalyana Mittata Iordache
Ever
since I was young I enjoyed solving puzzles and having the pleasure to see the
bigger picture afterwards. But even after all that, I found that life could be
the most challenging puzzle we have to face. It's one of those things that even
if you have all the pieces and could see the whole picture, it still takes time
and patience to solve it.
At
times, we feel more at ease not knowing the whole picture, not knowing the
whole level of difficulty or number of pieces that we're missing, but just
building up one piece at a time. The problem with this approach is that the
only clues that we have for matching two pieces are the shape and a small
glimpse of the image. We so often find comfort in building up the corners and
the borders but very rarely do we adventure in the middle of the puzzle. We'd
rather work little by little holding on to our safe border and only move
towards the center when the pieces are still in touch with our borders or
roots.
On
the other hand, you could be one of those people that just jumps in the middle
and builds up on every piece you have in order to get small portions of the
truth of the bigger picture every now and then. Not having your borders or
corners in place might mean that you don't need to know your limits in order to
realize that the puzzle will one day come to an end.
Nevertheless,
every piece is equally important and it gets handed to you at a time where you
have at least some matching piece. That doesn't mean you should only focus on
one point or piece and limit your possible connections. Spread out and you will
find even more connections. The truth of the puzzle information comes in
different shapes and colors but in the end it's all connected.
Information
might be divided, spread out in different areas, different people, different
experiences. What's important to remember is that every piece is meant for you.
You might throw it on the side now and use it later, but it will forever remain
a part of your bigger picture. Work on your puzzle, with patience and care in moving
forward and with a hopeful spirit that it will all work out in the end for your
highest good!
