When the pieces don’t fit
Sometimes, the pieces don’t fit. That’s ok.
Our job isn’t to force the pieces to come together, our job is to be the right piece.
When we toil towards being in control, we forfeit being a part of the process. Control is merely an illusion created by people who have vision but no patience. They see the possibilities but aren’t willing to work or wait until that vision comes to fruition.
Like a gate that opens slowly or a piece of fruit before it ripens, we must learn to wait, to be on the ready without forcing movement.
Then, when we’ve given time and space for our hopes to blossom, we will notice that the things we once sought to control are the very things we are happy to let go.
That’s when it will come together. That’s when the pieces will fit.
