Summary

The website content suggests that life should be approached like a jigsaw puzzle, focusing on the process and joy of piecing it together rather than the end result.

Abstract

The article likens life to a jigsaw puzzle, emphasizing that happiness is not found in the final outcome but in the journey of putting the pieces together. It advises against fixating on the end result, such as money, success, or romance, as the source of joy. Instead, it encourages embracing the gradual process of achieving goals, finding happiness in the small steps, inspirations, and realizations along the way. The guidance, channeled from a spirit guide named Star, suggests that true fulfillment comes from the excitement of pursuing one's interests and letting them lead to new experiences, ultimately completing one puzzle only to move on to the next.

Opinions

  • Each aspect of life, whether it be relationships, financial success, or personal achievements, should be seen as a series of steps to be enjoyed.
  • The process of building towards a goal is akin to piecing together a jigsaw puzzle, requiring time and patience.

Think of Life as a Jigsaw Puzzle

Piece by piece you put it together

Recently I was doing a reading for a very good friend. In it, I was channeling her guide, Star. He shared something that he asked us to share with others.

A way to look at life

To give a little context he was talking about how when people want something they often think that the having of that thing will make them happy.

They fixate on the end result. They think the end result will bring them joy. Whether it be money, success, romance. The guidance was this, in life, we don’t want to focus on the end result.

Life is like a jigsaw puzzle

You don’t open a puzzle box and expect to do the whole puzzle in an instant. You understand it will take time. Piece by piece you put it together.

So, too should you think about anything in life you want. It is in meeting the new person, dating them, getting to know them, and eventually falling in love.

It is in attracting the money or building the success in steps. We look at the picture, we work the puzzle. It slowly comes together, but it's not about the end result, it never was, it’s about getting there.

Joy and happiness are found from moment to moment. In the inspirations, ideas, realizations, and small steps.

Look to what makes you excited, and follow it. Let it take you to one thing and then another. Recognize that this is how you get to where you want to go.

One day you will step back and say I’ve completed this puzzle, isn’t it so beautiful? Then you will be on to the next one!
