“You can’t skip chapters, that’s not how life works. You have to read every line, meet every character. You won’t enjoy all of it. Hell, some chapters will make you cry for weeks. You will read things you don’t want to read; you will have moments when you don’t want the pages to end. But you have to keep going. Stories keep the world revolving. Live yours, don’t miss out. “ – Pillow Thoughts II
We each wake up and live a new story every day, sometimes the story can change by the hour. Sometimes my story is going so well, I don’t want it to end, or I get sad knowing it can’t last forever. Sometimes my story is so unbearable I want to slam the book shut and just never pick it back up. The key is to keep reading, to keep living out the plot. Without the crazy plot twists, the intense pains, the highest of joys.. life wouldn’t make for an interesting book.
I challenge you to live with more intention in life. Allow yourself to feel the lows, celebrate the highs, and don’t skip over any emotion, over any chapter in your book. The lows keep us grateful for the highs, the pains make us appreciate the normal, the unpleasant characters make us thankful for the loved characters. Every chapter, every emotion is so vital to really living a meaningful life. Don’t let your story go stale, jump all in and make the plot a great one.
Perseverance- To persist in anything undertaken; maintain a purpose in spite of difficulty, obstacles, or discouragement; continue steadfastly
Let this be your intention going into your weekend and next week. Keep your nose in every line of your story, don’t miss out, don’t distract, or skip over. Embrace everything this life has to offer in the pages of your book.
