“It
certainly is a puzzle.” He turned back to the broken road. “But sometimes to
find the answer, you have to take a leap of faith.” ― Dianna Hardy, Summer's
End
God's
will is like a jigsaw puzzle until you put all the pieces together, you won't
be able to see the whole picture. ― Danny L. Deaubé
Dare
to ask questions and seek answers to the puzzles of life. ― Lailah Gifty Akita
As I was watching all of the coverage of President George H.W. Bush (41)
a couple weeks ago, I heard one commentator say that President George W. Bush
(43) did not believe that he would have been president if Ronald Reagan had not
selected his father to be his Vice President.
Additionally, in Jon Meacham’s book Destiny
and Power: The American Odyssey of George Herbert Walker Bush, Bush (41)
did not want to accept the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency in 1976
when President Ford asked him to serve because he thought his presidential
aspirations would be forever doomed by holding that cabinet post. However, the puzzle pieces of life fit together,
and he did become the 41st President of the United States.
Throughout my life, I have encountered various life events good and
bad that I did not understand why I had to go through them. Not until after the life event occurred and I
thought about it did I understand how that “puzzle pieces” all fit together to
prepare me for the future.
Lesson Learned: Embrace the Puzzle Pieces of Life!
CHALLENGE: Think back
over your life to find the activities/events/jobs/experiences that have been
the “puzzle pieces” for your life and reminisce about how they all fit together
now.
