Missing Pieces

Ok … My last post would have summed up that I am frustrated to the core – mainly having nothing to do ( apart from waitng for my IELTS results – which by the way came out really well coz I scored 8/9 ..Yay me for that !!)

Haan toh I was saying ke I had nothing interesting to do plus the lousy year of 2008 ended with me getting Gastro- something n keeping me bedridden for some days …So just to keep myseld occupied I got this Jigsaw puzzle for a cute lil friend of mine …Huge puzzle it is with almost 1000 pieces …

This particular puzzle has been a challenge because of the large number of pieces and very few pieces which can be fitted together easily. I’m still working on the puzzle, by the way. Fitting the pieces together is going extremely slow. Sometimes I even find myself getting upset because I’m not able to find an exact piece for an exact space!

One space is absolutely driving me nuts! I’ve been trying to find the piece almost since I first started putting the puzzle together! Funny how one little piece in a puzzle can make you feel like pulling your hair out! Who knows, maybe the piece is missing. So I may never find that piece by the time the puzzle is done. It may have to simply be a missing piece. Anyway, I definitely need to relax about it! 8D

At the same time I started putting the puzzle together, I was also trying to put together some of the pieces in my life! Pieces that don’t make sense to me, pieces that I want to put into the empty spaces in my life, so I can see the complete picture and have everything fit snugly and all together.

As I went back to working on the puzzle, I remembered another piece in the puzzle that had been driving me crazy! I looked for it for a couple of days, but could not find it. Then just today evening, I looked straight down and saw the puzzle piece! It was right in front of me!

Isn’t that like life?
All the answers scrambled in front of us with no particular directions. Sometimes we search for the answer and it is right in front of us! The whole time we were hunting in far away places, asking others, reading books, and other material, trying to try to figure things out! When all we had to do was be quiet for a little while before the piece would have fallen into place.

Of course, we all want to see the big picture for our lives and the reasons why certain things go wrong or awry, but sometimes we never find all the pieces.



So a few things tat I realized were :

--> When the puzzle box is first opened you can’t see the whole picture.
--> Remember that every one’s puzzle is different; so don’t try to fit other’s pieces into your puzzle.
--> Expect there to be missing pieces and learn to live with it. You’ll only produce baldness by pulling your hair out, not answers :P
--> Be grateful for the pieces of life’s puzzles that fit and be satisfied with it.
--> Be more patient, some things take more time and come harder. Easier said than done, but it is good advice.

and most important FOLLOW UR HEART - It will def lead you on the right path :)

Woah !! that was definitely loads of gyan !!

Until next time ...bbye
Cheers !!
