I’ve always been a little bit of an “over-analyzer” - meaning that I can find some sort of meaning behind anything (which also plays to my detriment) -
This morning, when meatball and I were working on a puzzle, she kept trying to make a piece fit into a slot that was wrong (ie. it would NEVER fit)
-
Her frustration escalated, and I tried to diffuse the situation by handing her other options, or advising her on reasons why that would never fit, but she was insistent on making this piece work. -
NOTHING that I said, NOTHING that I could show her- would lead her astray from forcing this piece to fit. -
But, as you all know- it would never be the case. This piece was not made to go there. -
I kept thinking about how much our life consists of opposite thoughts “be patient, BUT ACT fast” “NEVER quit but KNOW when to let go” “practice makes perfect vs. perfection can be a sign of procrastination-just hit “submit”
-
Often times I think about WHEN that point comes- When do you know when to persist and when do you observe signs that tell you to ‘let go’
How can an idea start out as a passion, but then end up taking you down a road of delusion?
This is not a post about me giving answers- it’s more about how I view life. -
There are few things I ‘feel’ like I know for sure in this life-
-
I think about how life is so gray in some areas- especially when I haven’t walked down specific paths. When I give advice to my loved ones- I never know the outcome, I never know for sure. Sometimes, I might tell her that that puzzle piece will NEVER fit, and sometimes, I will tell her to take out a pair of scissors and cut it and color it so it will- but either way, I’ll never know the outcome of each FOR SURE.
So there you have it-
