Chapters …

Chapters …

Time, events, emotions, experiences, people, places… make up the chapters of our life. The full & final story.

Life can feel as though it has ended & a new one is emerging, requiring nurturing. We are naturally programmed to do this, we hold the power within us to continue the novel.

Each chapter of life, exists due to the previous ones lived through. Life didn’t end, it doesn’t end … it changes.

Selecting a title for the novel is maybe where the skill lies, do we decide on the title … at the end ? Or allow someone else to create the title for us, based on how they read the novel ?.

Not one single event in life that forced change, is worthy of the title … it can’t define us.

The beauty of each chapter is not always obvious, it requires a magnifying glass. Although, it’s there .. it has to be. If it’s made it into the novel, we can’t erase it, it’s just not possible. However much we attempt to go back & rewrite, we can’t. Life doesn’t allow that, ever. We can’t change what has happened.

We can’t skip chapters … nope, they have to be lived. Each chapter deserves COURAGE.

We can’t jump to the final chapter & why would we want to.

Give each chapter a title, by all means. The title of the novel, your novel … can’t be decided from the content of one chapter. Your novel is the most precious gift that you will leave for others to revisit & gain joy & lessons from.

Live your novel … with courage. The courage to do each chapter justice.

Remember, there’s no going back.

Keep the momentum going & think carefully about the title.

Remember, we don’t know when the final page is, when the pen has to be put down & a title assigned.

Allow the beauty of today to jump out of the sentence, even if the magnifying glass is required.
