🙂 hi folks,,

ive always wondered about this and i am hoping that you may be able to shed some light.

Since i was about thirty i felt 'me' had become a giant jigsaw puzzle shaken up put back down but the some pieces are missing.

i have feel a constant need to seek out those pieces and i have tried and thought of so many different things that might make it complete...its a thankless task and leaves me feeling frustrated...

the thing is i dont know if its just not about me learning to accept i am what i am,,its simple and this is it..

A friend summed it up and made me think about it, she said why are you always beating yourself up about what you think you should be doing..........it made me think,, why am i doing this?

hoping that this makes sense....

RE: The jigsaw puzzle

Hi Pure!

WOW what an amazing picture you have painted for me describing your life! I could eaisly spend hours talking with you on that one description. Some of the questions I think I would be asking you right now are:-

What happened when you were 30 that shook that puzzle?
What were you like before 30? Was your puzzle complete and perfectly intact?
Do you feel the missing pieces have gone for ever or are just hidden from view?
If you were to list the missing pieces how would you describe them?
If you could wave a magic wand and suddenly the pieces were back in place, what would have changed in your life?
You mentioned the need to seek these pieces out, how would you describe this need and have you felt it before about anything else?
When you have not known something in the past and have relied on instinct, what does your instinct tell you about this? You said that you just don't know if it's just you having to learn to accept things as they are now, but what is your gut feeling?
You mentioned that you were talking to your friend about this. If you could ask someone, anyone, living or dead, personally known to you or not, ficticious or real, if you could as someone that their answer would assure you that they knew what they were talking about.... who would that person be and what would they say to you?

Of course I don't expect or even suggest that you should answer any of these questions on here. But if there was one that triggered you to think about this is a slightly different light then I'd love to hear more.

Personally I love dealing with people that "just don't know" the answer, as it makes me really work hard.

Final question to leave with you.

What one thing would you need to do next to take the smallest step forward? If you are not sure, then think in even smaller steps! What could you do TODAY that would help?

I look forward to hearing more from you.

Flippin heck[8D], your energy made me unable to get my words out had to go away and come back!!Fab.

I have so many thoughts on this and your questions have added to those thoughts,

[color="#0099ff"] What happened when you were 30 that shook that puzzle?
What were you like before 30? Was your puzzle complete and perfectly intact?
Do you feel the missing pieces have gone for ever or are just hidden from view?
If you were to list the missing pieces how would you describe them?
[color="#33ccff"] If you could wave a magic wand and suddenly the pieces were back in place, what would have changed in your life?
You mentioned the need to seek these pieces out, how would you describe this need and have you felt it before about anything else?

I felt before 30 i knew what iwas about, where i wanted to go in life and then , i dont exactly if it was day a or month i just thought this isnt me,,,,the life i wanted didnt seem to appeal, i started to discover the stuff i didnt want but couldnt put finger on what i wanted..

Its been frustrating and i have drove friends crazy[&:], i go around in circles, squares and hexagans haha..

Where have the pieces gone? im not sure, i have tried asking outwards, going inwards, spiritual stuff, prayer, ..i even thought i nailed it last year, !! i was so happy and then it went pear shaped,,i couldnt understand myself!! totally weird experience..

Frustration leading me to numbness sometimes,,i feel like if i got it i can see a firework display that makes you smile as it feels magical...this just based on the feeling 'i think' i would have.

The thought of never finding it makes me feel uncomplete..

I have pretty good instinct on most things but with this its lead me up the garden path many many times...

who would i listen to .....im not going to say on here!!

Its hard feeling on the one hand im on 'a quest' but on the other feeling like im wasting my time and energy and boring others to death[sm=boring.gif]

Look forward to your reply

Hi Pure!

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I very rudely went on holiday before replying. (It was great by the way:) )

So my first question would be since the last time you posted on here has anything changed?
Do you still feel the same or has your direction shifted at all?
Assuming that you are feeling just the same..... what is the hardest thing regarding the missing pieces for you?

List 10 possible things you could do (not would but could) to take the smallest step forward to help you.

Take a 10 minute break and come back to the list. Continue to add to the list until you can think of nothing more.

Then add just one more 😀

From your list, choose just one thing you could do in the next 24 hrs and one thing you could do in the next week.

Then drop me a message on here or a private message and tell me what the two thigns are.

I look forward to hearing from you and once again, sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
