Piece of the Puzzle

So to attempt to sum up what I have learned yesterday and recently feeling the need to start writing these things down…
Every piece of a puzzle is needed to complete the whole puzzle and make complete the picture the artist intended to display. When you put a puzzle together and you get the end and you notice a piece is missing, how do you feel; frustrated, anxious, annoyed? That’s how I would feel. Angry because I have wasted all of this time putting something together only to, in the end, have to stop with my project unfinished!
At times I find myself thinking that what I do in not important; thinking that anyone could do what I do and probably do it better. I have to keep attempting to exceed expectations to combat that thought. Yesterday though, I was reminded that I am needed and the work being done can’t be done with out me. It reminded me of a puzzle. A puzzle as bunch of pieces, all designed with different shapes, sizes, colors, edges, all come together to make the masterpiece look like just that… a masterpiece. In our life, no matter how large everything seems to be around us, we have a job to do. We might feel like the smallest and insignificant piece to the puzzle but the puzzle wouldn’t be complete without us. Our job is to add to the puzzle in the way we were originally designed to since no other piece to that puzzle will fit in our place. When that puzzle is completed, we should move on and start adding to the next puzzle we have become a part of.
Either way, every piece of the puzzle, no matter how big or small is needed for its specific purpose since no other piece fits its part.
