There seems to be nothing better than a good book. One you just cannot put down. One which inspires you to achieve more, to go someplace you never thought you could, or to understand and feel what the characters do. Our lives are one big story. With our main character as us. Are we cheering us on? Or do we take our story and dismiss it as nothing. Do you wish your story was over and you can have a re-do? Nail biting page turners where we can see the character is going the wrong way, but we cheer them on anyway hoping for the best ending. Why can we not cheer ourselves on? Take our stories and use them to propel us forward, to understand our stories, and know we are not done.
In a story, there are parts: beginning, middle, end. You have heroes, support characters, protagonists, and people who come into the story for a short time. And there is always a new chapter to turn to. With our own lives, we can also find different people playing a part. Sometimes these people help direct us and show up at the right time. Others are protagonists and do not seem to be doing anything for us. But, I think they teach us a lesson we may not yet see. The best part of our lives is until we reach our end, we can continue to turn to a new chapter.
