Life is a serious of chapters in an ongoing story. Characters come and go. Plots thicken and are revealed. Tragedy, comedy, inspiration, and enlightenment await us at the turn of every encounter and experience. When one chapter ends; another begins. Sometimees we may want to reread a chapter to get clarity or to revisit the sweetness or drama of the story. In life, revisiting or holding on to what "used to be" is called being stuck.

It's the act of repeatedly opening the book to the previous chapter and wondering why the story has not changed. Through endings can be difficult, frightening or sad, the book of life has a way of closing the chapters of our lives that makes revisiting them unproductive or impossible. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, even though it may feel that way. Our lives and our spirits can grow only with the ending of certain chapters. Thankfully, every ending signals a new beginning.
