What is a Life Puzzle?

You, me….we are all Life Puzzles. Life Puzzle is a framework on which to build your whole life. The Life Puzzle model will guide you through the process of putting your pieces together!

Imagine at birth you’re handed a box with 10,000 pieces in it. That’s your Life!
Now the question is, are you going to jam them all together or take your time and put the pieces together in a way that works to ensure a healthy, whole and dynamic Life Puzzle?

A piece at a time with the whole YOU in mind.

All of us have the same 16 core areas, 5 edges that make up our Life Puzzle—yet no two of us will put these pieces together in exactly the same way. Thus we all have a common bond to help us understand each other, but at the same time, we each have a unique soul essence that makes each of us our own special Life Puzzle.

In an ideal world, the journey of your childhood would have prepared you to put together your whole Life Puzzle. But the reality is that many of us walk into adulthood missing so much of the information and awareness we need if we’re going to create lives, families and communities that work!

Here at Life Puzzle…we’re all about helping people learn the information they need in the 16 core areas, 5 edges that create the SELF so they can put together a really wonderful Life Puzzle. Whether you choose to take an online class, read the book, Life Puzzle…putting the pieces together, or simply check the blog regularly, you’ll find lots of great information you can put into action in your Life Puzzle-making! 

I know, you thought you were going to get this at school….

 
Every time I present the Life Puzzle model to groups, organizations, social service agencies, etc., inevitably someone asks, “Why wasn’t I taught this in school?”   There's no simple answer to this because schools are a very complex system and in their defense, schools are often expected to do everything in our society--and that's simply not fair either. 

But, now, when our world economy is an information/service economy and the greatest asset for any company is to have employees who are fully-developed human beings--using the Life Puzzle model as a framework within the academic setting would prove very beneficial.  We could weave Life Puzzle learning through many of the academic classes, making the curriculum come alive.  For example--teaching history using Life Puzzle--The journey of Lewis and Clark is really the journey of two Life Puzzles under construction!  What did they put into their nutrition piece?  What level of thinking development was necessary to have the audacity to hop in a boat and head west without a map? What kinds of relationships did they have while traveling for over two years? In an academic setting--any place there are people provides a way to teach Life Puzzle to our students too! As they learn about the Life Puzzle of historical figures, cultural groups, even in a nutrition class--it all relates back to their own lives too.

But for now, Life Puzzle isn't in the school system--so you will have to teach your SELF! Lots of great information available here at the sight!
