Puzzle Pieces

Have you ever tried to fit something into your life and it just didn't work? Tried and tried repeatedly but no matter what, it didn't go anywhere. I call it trying to fit a piece that doesn't belong into a puzzle.

I can't count the amount of times that I've tried to do this. I try and try and am determined to make something happen that just isn't meant to be. I think many are guilty of it.  It can be a job that is going nowhere, but you really want it to work. It can be a relationship with someone that isn't right for you, but you stick around because you really hope it will. That friend who is toxic but you keep that person around hoping the good will outweigh the bad.

What we need to realize is that we may not have that missing piece to complete the puzzle right now...but that doesn't mean that we won't ever have that missing piece. It just means that for now, that puzzle isn't fully completed. One day, all the pieces will come together. Don't rush the process, but instead have fun putting it all together.
