When a puzzle piece doesn’t fit, we don’t berate the piece. We don’t take it personally. We just move on until we find the pieces that fit together.

Likewise with people. With vendors, customers, providers, mentors, pupils … it won’t always be a good fit.

When there’s flexibility to make a change, don’t dwell on the incompatibilities. Just politely move on; these things happen.

We’re complex beings. Sometimes we align. Sometimes we don’t.

Keep seeking the pieces that fit. They’re out there, and they’re worth finding.
