Today I was putting puzzle pieces together with my toddler and then I suddenly got the inspiration how this is our life. A puzzle. A puzzle that is filled with other puzzles.
WHAT IS A PUZZLE?
Puzzle is a game, that tests your ability to think and solve it, as putting all the pieces together to form a unity. Now it can not be whole if it is a missing one or more pieces.
HOW DOES THIS APPLY IN LIFE?
Each pieces I placed on the floor I was suddenly focused of the each piece: the shape and the colours and the details. They are getting mixed up. Now it looks like a chaos on the floor. In order to get to see the whole picture, the chaos needs to be organized. You start looking for the all the pieces that are INFRONT OF YOU and then your brain starts to think "OK, so where do I start with? The corners? Edges? Maybe I am catching some middle pieces that I can put all together already now and use them later when I need it .."
First thing I am trying to point out is that in order to see/understand the whole picture (of the situation) we have to see what we already have infront of us. We might not understand now what each pieces mean or what are their importance of the whole puzzle but it will makes sense later on when all pieces are in the correct order. Yes, some pieces (information) might be missing or hidden under the sofa or carpet and might come out suddenly when you decide to clean or renovate your space. And it might take some time to get the all the missing pieces all together. While searching you might also find a piece (that actually belongs to other puzzle), which you are trying to fit in a place like this way and that way or any other way! But somehow it doesn't fit on the current puzzle. You set this piece (or pieces) aside because you realize it is not fitting (maybe not even understanding as why). You will get the answers to this once the puzzle is complete. Then it will make sense why they didn't fit.
Secondly, our life is a puzzle that is filled with different puzzles (challenges). Every thing that requires a problem solving and finishing is a puzzle: a college, a course, from bad to good functional working romantic or platonic relationships, breaking off the bad habits or mindsets etc. Before we leave, we must complete all the puzzles we were given before coming in this life. Once our puzzle has all the completed pieces we are ready to move on another level.
Thirdly, a puzzle is also a dream or goal you are trying to reach. You don't know what pieces you need in order to get it done. It can have 10, 25 or even 500 pieces to become complete. The more pieces you need, the more time, patience and thinking is needed to be done. Every piece you experience is a step further and closer to your dream. It makes sense, isn't it?
If I think about in tarot meanings, puzzle for me is being described by The Fool (not knowing yet), the Magician (what you have), The Wheel (a part of destiny/where your actions are taking you), The Tower and The Death (a destiny and the result of your actions, time to reap what you sow).
Do you see your life as a puzzle the way I described or do you have any other thought to share, you can kindly to do so while leaving comments down below!
