Some individuals include puzzles as a feature of their daily routine. It may be crossword, Sudoku, Wordle, or jigsaw puzzles. No matter what the exact dilemma is, the task of solving and providing the brain with mental gymnastics is a feature of their day.
Then others may say, ‘I just don’t get why people like puzzles. It is frustrating and worse off is when you are almost done but cannot complete it.’ There is no doubt that there’s immense pleasure in solving a puzzle, yet the absolute satisfaction is from making progress. It is not the end that makes it worth the while, but instead the process.
Every day we are solving puzzles in life. It may be in relationships we’re navigating or understanding how to approach difficult situations and discussions. It may be planning an event, initiative, or even a road trip. Solving a problem is, in many ways, the process of doing a puzzle. We have the pieces. How do they combine for us to attain the complete solution?
Rather than looking at the puzzle as a problem, look at it as an opportunity for you to create or recreate an ideal. The ability for you to structure various elements to achieve the desired outcome is an achievement and one that we all strive to master every day. We may as well take pleasure from it since it is what we do.
