Pieces of the puzzle

TODAY IS MY FAVOURITE DAY!

A simple and fun little metaphor I use in order to understand myself and others is to look upon people as pieces of a puzzle.

We are all connected - right? And every single piece is important to make up the complete picture. All pieces are unique. Each piece is perfect just the way it is. But all pieces do not fit together well. There are many resemblences between a puzzle and people ;o)

Try it! I have lots of fun when I use it, and it honestly makes it easier for me to understand when I run into someone that I don't go along well with: It is nobody's "fault" - it simply that we are pieces from different corners of the puzzle!

People are different!

TODAY IS MY FAVOURITE DAY!

Be very careful who you socialize with! There are people of all kinds on this planet. And we are more or less "compatible" with each other.

I have learned that the people I have around me have a big impact on my own well-being!

Positive people are gifts from heaven! Practice a positive attitude yourself, and you will attract others like yourself. Positive, as well as negative tend to be contageous.

Some negative people make you struggle to keep your energy up. They talk about problems, make you feel pity for them. They drain your energy, hold you down. Avoid them!

Some people are unreliable and dishonest. Lots and lots of talk, but very little action. They live in the past or in the future, not now. You will hear talks about past victories and future success. And they always have an excuse for not doing things right now: "Next week/month/year I will..." "As soon as xxx happens I shall..." Avoid them! Even more than the negative ones!

Be with people who move forward and upward together with you and share laughter and pain!

Carpe Diem;
