Have you ever thought of an idea and got really excited about it.  Then thought back, days, weeks, even months, or years and thought, oh, that's what it meant.  Then you spend so much time thinking of all the things you could have done with that or what you could have been doing, but in reality, it wasn't time for you to get it yet. That's what is so exciting about life. It is one big giant puzzle, that you start and you can always come back to, but it doesn't always come with the big finished picture at the bottom of the box.  It is one of those that becomes bright and more colorful with each piece that you find that fits.
You may never finish the puzzle and at times may spend more time trying to make the pieces fit then you need to. But when you walk away, it will start to take shape, the edges will become more defined and you will know you are finding the right shapes as you continue.  The frustration some feel when putting a puzzle together is the impatience of wanting to get it done faster or an image of what it is suppose to look like.  Puzzles, like life, is a journey or a marathon if you will.  You will have people help you with the puzzle or you may have to go it alone. But ultimately, the pieces will fit, the puzzle will make sense and the pride and the challenge of putting together this big life of a puzzle will be more beautiful and bigger and so much colorful than you could have ever dreamed or imagined.  Then you can take the puzzle apart, do another one or frame the one you got and start again.  After all, life is one giant beautiful puzzle with endless pieces.
