Searching for something (more) - The missing puzzle piece issue
'If you are waking up with the sensation that there has got to be more in life... then there is.' - Steve Harvey
Have you ever felt the need to search for something (more)? Well then you probably should go out and find it.
It´s often the smallest piece that makes the big picture.
Searching for something (more)
The fact that you aren´t where you want to be, that you don´t wake up at the right place or next to the right person, the sensation that there is a lack of something, should be enough motivation.
We can spend our whole lives dreaming of something (more), or we can just go for it - for something that lasts, something that´s enough, something that shows that we are right, something that feels good.
Life is a puzzle. Every piece fits together to create who we are.
Consider that your life is a puzzle.
While working through this puzzle of life, we are more likely going to try forcing some wrong pieces into the empty spaces. As we continue on, it becomes clearer to us that they are just not meant to line up that way.
So what is the purpose? To break it apart, of course, and reassemble those pieces the right way until we don´t feel that there is still missing something (more).
The good news is:
The pieces of our puzzle are all there.
The more ways we try to place them where they really belong, the more connections we will discover along the way.
Missing or wrongly placed puzzle pieces can be a lot of different things.
They can be places that need to be explored, activities that want to be experienced, beliefs that want to be thought, feelings that desire to be expressed and - of course - people that want to be met and loved.
Soon - rearranging the existing puzzle pieces and picking up some new ones - we will begin to visualize pictures as they come together to form the overall great vision of our life.
There is one song that perfectly describes that need for something (more) and which actually inspired me to write this post.
'Irgendwas' (Something) - Yvonne Catterfeld feat. Bengio
We are searching for something
We are searching for something more
But what we are looking for nobody knows
As long as it´s a little bit more
If you are searching for something (more), then you should go for it.
Don´t give up until the last piece of your life´s puzzle has fallen into place.
`Cause we only live once :)

And sometimes-- as I discovered for myself, some years back-- the "something" is actually the realization that "less is more," and that there are not enough things or experiences in the world to "fill" any empty spaces we may hold within... we can only "fill" them with the essence of ourselves.
Great post!
That's a really beautiful thought! Maybe we are enough, yes...
Thanks you @denmarkguy!
There are things that are meant to be, in an unplanned time and place. Looking for it maybe futile, but in the right track, it will happen. Somehow. Perhaps.
What we do before that depends on us, whichever way we want.
These are wise words, @immarojas. Thank you!
I don´t believe in destiny, but in opportunity and that´s pretty close :) Things will happen when we are ready to receive them.
Maybe ;)
Powerful @surfermarly .
Respect.
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it :)
Great message in your post. Thank you for including the song. Had never heard of her before. I don't need to understand German to appreciate that voice.
Thank you @theregularguy!
I love that song and her voice, too. She was one of these commercially hiped German pop idols some years ago. She was successful during a certain time but then things got worse. So she decided to go her own way, work autonomously and do music that really came from her heart. The above mentioned song is from her latest album. In my opinion she did absolutely right. Compared to her first steps into the music business, what she is doing now is really great stuff that goes deep and has a message. I like this story because it shows that we have to find our own way in life to become really fulfilled.
Cool! Is this from your book?
Thank you, Arif!
It's not included in my book yet, but maybe it should become part of it :)
Or maybe hold off and put it in a new book?
There are definitely much more stories to tell... Yeah maybe I should ;)
Excellently said.
Thank you @solarguy! It´s been my pleasure :)
Me gusto mucho cuando decis que la vida hay que considerarla como un rompecabezas. Y que cuando las piezas no encajan, lo importante es seguir intentando. Ya que las piezas siempre estan ahi, como esperandonos.
Pero por otro lado tambien considero, que cuando hay algo que no encaja no hay que forzarlo, si no, mirar para otro lado y seguir con nuestras vidas. Enfrentar lo que nos sucede, pero saber cuando decir BASTA, hasta aca llego con esto; doy vuelta la pagina y sigo. Creo que asi se es mas feliz la vida me parece...
Abzo grande amiga! Y gracias por compartir!
No podría estar más de acuerdo. Hay piezas que no encajarán jamás en nuestras vidas por muchas vueltas que les demos. Por ello, es más conveniente no darles demasiada atención y mirar hacia adelante. La diferencia entre un puzzle y la vida real es que para terminar el juego hay una sola solución, mientras la vida ofrece infinitas soluciones...
Gran sábado filosófico, eh? :-)
Gracias por compartir tu punto de vista. Buen finde!
Me alegro que hayas comentado mi post, jaja! Y vuelvo a coincidir, la vida siempre nos da la oportunidad de elegir, esta en nosotros hacia donde vamos. Bien dicho!
Jajaja me inspiraste! Igual es lindo filosofar y volar un poco.
Un gusto de vdd! Buena vida!
