At times, things can feel like a puzzle, but unlike a puzzle, your journey doesn’t come packaged in a neat little box with a nice picture on it. All your pieces get dumped on the table, and at times you don’t know where to start, but you have all the pieces, you always do. You’ll get stuck at times, but you never have all the answers at first, maybe ever, and that’s fine. Whether you start from the corners, the middle, or create little islands as you go, the picture becomes clearer. We all get frustrated, and that’s okay. Just pick up the puzzle when you knock it along with everything else off the desk. Patience is a practice, and life can move fast. Your pieces are scattered about sifting like quicksand, but panicking only makes things worse. Be intentional, but also be patient.
