Just a Chapter

Life is like a book. It is one of those novels filled with unexpected twists and turns. When we look at where we are in our lives, we have to realize it is just a chapter.

We may be in the middle of a boring chapter. You know, one where we just want to skip through quickly and get to the juicy part. Maybe some of us are in the thick of it. The really intense chapter where everything takes a turn, The chapter that leaves you gasping and wondering "How the hell did that happen?" Or maybe some are in the best chapter so far. The one everyone had been waiting for. The chapter we all dreamed of and really hoped would show up in the book. Whatever chapter you may be in, it matters. Read it. Feel it. Don't mindlessly turn the pages.

Think of your favorite book. What would that book be if you ripped out a chapter or two? Each piece of the puzzle is meant to introduce new characters, teach different lessons, and prepare you for the upcoming story.

I know I started all this by saying JUST a chapter but it isn't JUST, it's THE chapter. It is the one you are living right now. Whether its the best one or the roughest one you've been through, it is the one you are living now. So, live it. What is the author trying to teach you? Sure we wish we could skip to the end and get a glimpse of what it may be but what is the fun in that? Live the romance, live the heartache, hold on for the twists and turns and make your book one that others are dying to read.
