Puzzle Pieces

Poem that I used to close the Truths, Testimonials and Triumphs event at WW North Olmsted. Unfortunately, I cannot take credit for authoring this masterpiece... Enjoy!

EVERYTHING I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT LIFE, I LEARNED FROM A JIGSAW PUZZLE

•Don't force a fit. If something is meant to be, it will come together naturally.

•When things aren't going so well, take a break. Everything will look different when you return.

•Be sure to look at the big picture. Getting hung up on the little pieces only leads to frustration.

•Perseverance pays off. Every important puzzle went together bit by bit, piece by piece.

•The creator of the puzzle gave you the picture as a guidebook. Refer to the creator’s guidebook often.

•Don't be afraid to try different combinations. Some matches are surprising.

•Take time to celebrate your successes (even little ones).

•Anything worth doing takes time and effort. A great puzzle can't be rushed.

•When you finally reach the last piece, don’t be sad. Rejoice in the masterpiece you’ve made.
