What Is Your Piece of the Puzzle?

Each of Us Has a Piece of the Puzzle.

Once We Put Our Own Piece in Place,

a Thousand Others Can Then Be Placed.

I first heard "Each of us has a piece of the puzzle" at a seminar in January 2007. I have been able to attribute that phrase to Lillian Smith.

I don't remember exactly the words of the second sentence spoken at the seminar, but I've fine tuned them to say what I believe to be true: "Once we put our own piece in place, a thousand others can then be placed".

Think about it. How many things have you been able to move forward on because of something someone else said or accomplished -- a piece of the puzzle gifted to you?

I believe that I am in a position to empower thousands of teens in Central Oregon.....

.....because T. Harv Eker put a piece of the puzzle in place called "Life Directions Intensive."

.....because Yvonne and Rich Dutra St. John put a piece of the puzzle in place called Challenge Day.

.....because Arlene Gibson put a piece of the puzzle in place by supporting me as I created Serendipity West Foundation.

.....because Serendipity West Foundation put a piece of the puzzle in place by committing to bring Challenge Day and the Be the Change Movement to all the High Schools and Middle Schools of Central Oregon.

It is expected that thousands of remarkable and amazing young people will create remakable and amazing futures for themselves and for Central Oregon, thereby putting thousands more pieces of the puzzle in place.
