Puzzled Reflection

At what point when situations don’t work out so we question if we may be the reason as to why? When conflict arises it’s good to self-reflect and be sure that you aren’t the cause of it all. In some cases, as individuals, we can be toxic and not even realize it because we are blinded by what that person may have personally done to us to cause our pain as a reaction. With self-reflection, we shouldn’t make what others do to us the reason or issue as to why we may become disconnected with others. Perhaps we can look at these situations of adversity as opportunities to check ourselves. If we are in situations where we are pushing those around us away, it’s important to look at the mistakes we might’ve made throughout the course of a relationship. We aren’t less worthy if we push people around us away. We can keep growing and constantly looking for ways to improve as individuals. By looking at these mistakes, we can own them, grow from them and move in by applying those lessons to our lives. I like to think that we are our very own personal puzzles. At times, it calls for us to have to take our puzzle pieces out that may already be in place, in order to arrange and make room for another piece to conclude the project. That’s how we are as human beings constantly expanding, growing, and adding things to ourselves to change how we appear.
