The Master

Professor Morely Davidson said, ~There is a universal popularity of the Rubik's Cube puzzle - it's probably the most popular puzzle in human history.~ If you think about it, life is very similar to the iconic 80's toy many of us grew up playing with as we can oftentimes find ourselves holding in our hand, in a manner of speaking, circumstances that are seemingly complicated regarding our own lives. For it's a tough situation indeed to figure out a way to solve what is considered to be at first glance considerably easy but in fact its something truly complex involving countless twists and turns that are viewed as absolute challenges. What it primarily comes down to is having the dedication and determination to stick with it despite how difficult it is instead of completely giving up on it.

Let me ask you this question to those who grew up playing with the colorful six sided cube, how long did it take for you to solve it? I think it would be safe to say it took a tremendous amount of time and not to mention focus to get all six colors in their respective areas. Thinking about it further, the colors we put a significant amount of time and focus into matching are a representation of aspects of life such as work, finances, love, dating/marriage, friends, as well as family. Unfortunately, there comes a point where too much time and focus is put on one particular side leaving what is left to remain incomplete. Essentially, you have to just keep your attention on all six sides of the cube of life and not worry about when it's going to be solved because you basically have all the time in the world.

Without a doubt, there are times when trying to solve the Rubik's Cube you end up wanting to throw it against the wall. The same can be said for life too as there are certain aspects of it that can cause us to become so confused and frustrated we end up throwing our hands in the air. One aspect of life that can lead to confusion and frustration is matters of the heart pertaining to love/true love because every person has experienced or is currently experiencing not only the metaphorical twisting, but the turning of their own heart in order for true happiness to be solved, which hasn't happened yet for a certain number of people. Let me tell you something, sometimes you just have to put down the Rubik's Cube of your heart, step back, and for the sake of your own sanity try again later.

For the question can be asked concerning the colorful six sided cube, when you were trying to solve it did any of your friends put their own 2 cents into the mix giving you suggestions on how to complete the tricky puzzle? The answer, I fair to guess, is a resounding yes and I for one can honestly say the suggestions given by my friends were either utterly annoying or down right stupid. You see, in their mind they knew the best solution to solve the problem at hand and one of those aforementioned solutions was to take all the colored stickers off so you can stick them together, which is of course cheating. Hey, when it comes to solving our personal/professional problems the suggestions given by our friends who can most assuredly be annoying and stupid but you have to give it up to them for continually sticking by your side no matter what.

Someone once said, ~Life is like a Rubik's Cube. It's ever changing and it always seems like you can't ever get it right. A puzzle than can never be fixed correctly like it was before and yet in the back of your mind you're convinced that all can be right one day.~ In retrospect, there are quite frankly so many solution to solving aspects of life that are difficult but the one main solution is through prayer as you put the Rubik's Cube of your own life in the hands of God. True, like the cube life may not always be fun at times but the one thing you can count on is being able to look back and have a good laugh. In the end, I say to you my friend, when you do eventually solve the colorful six-sided cube of your own life with God's guidance you can proudly call yourself the master as you feel a sense of accomplishment for a job well done.
