Don’t finish your book too early

In your head.

That’s is where life is.

It’s what we say.

We decide the narrative. We tell the story.

Good or bad.

Kind or hateful.

Love or hate.

Whatever opposites you want.

Fear or bravery.

Hiding or being open.

There are a million shades of grey not just the black and white options.

Whatever narrative you create inside your head, remember it’s you who creates it and controls it.

The story is ours and we get to write every line of every chapter, yet we often allow others to be the editors of our story.

Write it yourself, tell it as you want it, and the good news is you can always re-write the story, add another chapter, change the plot, even re-write a scene, change the characters. It’s completely the author’s choice.

However at the end of our story, the only thing we’ll regret is we didn’t keep writing more chapters.

Don’t get to the end of your book to early in life and settle for the book being done because it’s easy.

Just across the road


Just across the road is a place that we want to be.

The road is busy, it looks like it’s dangerous, it might take a time to cross.

We search for the pedestrian crossing, we search for the safe route, even if that safe route is a long way up the road and far away from the place we want to be that is just opposite.

Simply stepping off the pavement and taking the plunge, the chance of a gap in the traffic, being nimble enough to make our way across is often too much for us. 

Yet, we really want to be at that place jsut across the road.

The dilemma is risk or take your time for perceived safety.

Yes, you are more likely to get run over by just dashing across the road versus the pedestrian crossing.

However, risk is more likely to get you to where you want to go and risk is more exciting.

Certainty does not exist and is dull.
