The more I delve into life and try and figure it out, the more I realise how little we all know and are able to comprehend. Millions of years have passed before us and millions of years will pass after us, we are but a speck in time. Earth and our solar system alone are so vast let alone the infinity of space, we are but a speck in space. Maybe we’re here by chance, maybe we’re here for a purpose, who can really know for sure.
Personally, I like to believe we’re here for a purpose, that our lives have meaning and that our tiny imprint on this earth and in the vastly infinite space around us is valued and important and without which the fabric of space and time would be faltered. I like to believe that our lives are predestined, and are predestined for greatness. Whether we reach that greatness or not rests in our ability to find the next piece in our puzzle, and then the piece after that. Until all the pieces have been found and connected and we can move on from this human existence to whatever comes next knowing that we fulfilled our destiny.
Unfortunately, many people’s puzzles are never completed. Some pieces may come easily but others come as a result of painful experiences and for some that pain is too hard to bare and they never move past it. So now, I see life as a challenge. No matter how bad a situation, no matter how dark and lonely it gets, I know that with that comes wisdom, knowledge and an understanding that I didn’t have before.
Personally, I love solving puzzles, I love applying logic to any situation to find the best solution. So this is a great analogy for me, and maybe for one of you too. Go out, live life, find those pieces and make sure that when your time comes you can see the whole, beautiful picture that was your life.
