One Apple A Day #1125
Life is not a problem to solve.
It feels a lot more like a never-ending and complex tension to navigate.
For many years I struggled with my inability to solve life. To find a solution that could align all pieces in a meaningful way, so I could sit down and observe them with pride like you would do once you complete an intricate puzzle.
But no matter my efforts, there are always some pieces missing. And the ones I thought I had put in the right place, sooner or later, do not feel so right after all. There is no apparent logic. At least not one my mind can grasp.
For a problem solver like me, being unable to decode and solve life was stressful and, sometimes, even painful.
Until I stopped trying to solve it and began to flow with it.
There are parts of life my cognitive mind can understand. Others that my heart can feel. And there are parts that I can only accept and allow.
Funny enough, since I stop trying to put all the pieces in order, I can sit and observe the perfection and beauty of its apparent chaos.
Sure, some things still feel wrong, and I do my best to make them right. But, I don't have to figure everything out to enjoy life.
