“Our lives are stories in which we write, direct and star in the leading role. Some chapters are happy while others bring lessons to learn, but we always have the power to be the heroes of our own adventures.”

Ever read a book or watched a movie and found yourself cheering on the main character(s)? Perhaps a chapter or the story didn’t end the way you would have liked, and you wished you could write it differently.

This quote, by Joelle Speranza, reimagines your life’s story as a book or motion picture. YOU play the leading role in your life’s story. So, cheer yourself on as you would the protagonists of the stories you read and watch. Meanwhile, weak the endings of unhappy chapters. Not by rewriting them, per se, but by adding an epilogue of lessons learned.
