Have you ever tried to solve a puzzle without the top of the box?
Yikes!
You're not always going to get the top of the puzzle box.
How the heck are you supposed to solve a puzzle when you don't know what it's supposed to look like?
When you're in the "in between" maybe feeling uncertain or in a space that feels foreign for you...that can be exactly what it feels like...you're missing the top of the puzzle box. The clues for what's next...or at least some sort of framework.
That doesn't mean you can't solve it, or that you can't get started. It just means you have to be willing to take a chance. Try a piece...see if it fits...be willing to fail.
It also offers a lot more flexibility in how that puzzle's gonna turn out.
You get to determine how many pieces are in the puzzle, which piece you start with, when the puzzle is complete - the final result.
In life, you're gonna find yourself in foreign territory from time to time...experiences that you've never had before...where there's no "top of the box" to guide you through it. Where you truly have to navigate it one puzzle piece at a time.
The cool thing about solving puzzles is that you don't have to do it alone. Every now and then someone else is holding the puzzle piece that you need for your puzzle.
Where right now do you have a puzzle with no box top?
Are you ready?
Let's get to it...
Your challenge...
Maybe you're navigating a job loss, or a family member is unwell, and you're navigating through the system. Perhaps for you, there's been a relationship change. There are so many situations that can come up where there's no puzzle box with the clues that you might need.
Life doesn't always come with the picture on top of the box.
Even if you think you have a “plan” sometimes you're looking at the wrong puzzle box. It happens.
We need others to complete our puzzle.
Sometimes, we just don’t have all of the puzzle pieces we need to complete the puzzle.
Likewise, sharing some of our puzzle pieces is the right thing to do.
Everyone needs assistance from time to time. Look around...who could use one of your puzzle pieces?
While doing things on your own may be fine for you most times, we all need assistance from time to time and getting someone else’s puzzle piece may be the exact thing you need right now.
Check in. Do you need to take a puzzle piece...or offer one?
