Life is big puzzle that needs to be figured out.
Why did she say that?
Why did I feel that way?
How does it look?
What did he mean?
Why did that work?
How come that didn’t work?
The better you get to know yourself, the better you can answer these questions.
Slowly, you will find all of the edge pieces, and begin to piece the picture together by asking and searching for answers.
Question by question the puzzle will start to come to life and you will begin to see the big picture.
I’ve learned to keep searching and keep asking why until I feel the lightbulb come on. As I get to the heart of the issue, the last few puzzle pieces are placed.
Analyzing life keeps it interesting, makes what happens a little less personal and it helps you make better choices when in a similar situation.
It rewires your brain to look at things objectively.
Interestingly, this works when you are learning grade 10 science too.
As soon as the lightbulb comes on, you can answer the questions easily… then you start a new unit, and it all begins again.
It’s worth it to spend the time thinking about life, putting the puzzle pieces together, and gaining a deeper understanding.
Plus it makes for some great conversation.
