The Whole Picture

Life is lived in moments

And each moment is a piece of a puzzle

And a puzzle is much easier to put together, when you can see the whole picture.

It’s easy to go through life jumping from one moment to another

But the problem lies when you’re using different pieces

And still expecting a full picture to emerge.

In the same way, so too can your moments become disjointed and completely misaligned

Isolating each one from the next, forming nothing and leading you nowhere.

A series of unrelated and random events, that just don't fit.

It’s important then to understand what you’re trying to do

And what picture you’re trying to paint

To make sure that every moment counts

That each moment plays it’s part

And every piece rests in its rightful place

The alternative might be fun for a short time,

But long term

It will totally chew you up and leave you standing in the void.
