Wednesday Prompt - Is Life A Jigsaw puzzle?

 

 

For our Wednesday Prompt we were given the following quote:

“Life is like a jigsaw puzzle, you have to see the whole picture, then put it together piece by piece!”

― Terry McMillan, A Day Late and a Dollar Short

Is that possible?  Are we able to see life as the whole picture?  I know that we would like to and often see our ideal life ahead of us.  How often does that actually turn out the way we have visualized or hoped? 

On the other hand, we must see our life this way in order to plan and set our goals to accomplish what we hope to have happen.  We must learn to take each 'piece' as it comes and work at making it fit into the big picture.

Sometimes we have pieces that won't fit or we wonder why they were ever put into the puzzle box.  But every piece has a purpose, a reason, for being there.  If we take the time to keep focused on the big picture, it will all fit together in the end.
