Missing Piece
Jigsaw puzzles can be incredibly therapeutic.
As we sort through the scattered pieces laid out before us, they can become many things — a source of calm, a sense of control, and a way to create order and wholeness from chaos.
Consider how puzzles can help with:
Teaching discernment to a child as you point out variations in shape and color
Providing distraction and an opportunity for a sense of control as pieces are being fit together, and
Creating opportunities for celebration when that missing piece is discovered.
That missing piece can also become an entire mindset for successful and fulfilling living!
What?
Today’s brief post is centered around your viewing of this video by Orly Wabah, below, about the Power of Kindness.
There are numerous take a ways from her message, and with each viewing, I become inspired by a different aspect.
For today, may the knowledge that each of us is a piece of this jigsaw puzzle of life, and that we have a unique shape and role to play that – quite literally – holds the rest of the puzzle together.
Life needs each of us!
Orly describes how the realization of her neglected personal dreams had kept her from putting her unique puzzle-piece-self into the puzzle of life.
When she stopped listening to her detractors and the negative circumstances found in her life – and she started focusing on kindness – she began to change herself and the world.
Let me know what you think of Orly’s message. She mentions her project, Life Vest Inside – seen below – and has inspired people around the globe.
