Life
is like
a jigsaw puzzle.
Each day,
every moment,
each second,
you have a piece
in your hand.
What
do I
do with it?
Look around,
see what is happening
to you
and your life.
Does it fit
the piece
you have
in your hand?
Umm,
may be,
not sure,
it could!
Pass,
next piece
please.
Life
is like
a game
of snakes
and ladders.
It is
your choice,
whether
you go up
the ladder
or down
the snake.
How does that
relate to
the jigsaw puzzle?
The decisions
you make
or choose not to make
about your jigsaw pieces,
also determine
whether it is a ladder
or a snake.
Is this
sounding
complicated?
Actually,
it isn’t,
when you look
and listen.
Everything
that happens
in your life
is part
of your jigsaw puzzle.
If you listen,
look,
and understand,
you know
where the piece
is placed.
You
go up
the ladder.
If you baulk,
put it aside,
ignore it,
you go backwards
and down a snake.
Wait a minute,
does that mean
I need to be aware
of everything
happening
in my life?
The short answer
is
yes.
Life
is not
a dress rehearsal,
it is the main act.
You are
the main character,
you are
the director,
you are
the producer.
You define
what happens,
you are responsible
for what happens,
you make it
happen.
Enough hints,
the rest
is up to you.
Good luck!
