Preposterous Quote – New Years

 

New year’s day – or any day of our lives – is not the beginning of a new book. It might, maybe, possibly be the beginning of a new page or a new chapter (although why that would happen exactly on this particular day of the year baffles me!). But we can’t escape the fact that pages, and chapters, and VOLUMES have already been written (in our own lives, yes. And we are also chapters and pages in the lives of many other books, past and present!). We are the same characters that we were on the last page, and thank goodness for that continuity! Otherwise, how would we actually learn, grow, and change?

You can’t be the hero of a story that starts today. But you ARE the hero in the story you’re a part of. Take all those pages, read them carefully, then author your next pages well.
