Life Lessons from a Jigsaw Puzzle

  1. Every small piece has a role to play in the grand scheme of things.
  2. If you take a bit of time away from a situation, you often come back to find the next step is obvious.
  3. Don’t try to force fit anything. If it’s right, it’s easy; if it’s easy, it’s right.
  4. Sometimes you’re too close to a situation to see it clearly; you have to stand back and look at the bigger picture.
  5. Set your boundaries first. It’s easier to work out the details once you know your parameters.
  6. If something doesn’t work the first time, try another angle.
