A single rough day, week, or even season doesn’t define your whole story. Yet it’s so easy to let one difficult chapter convince us that things will never change. We forget that every good book includes struggle before the resolution. Life works the same way. Just because one section feels messy doesn’t mean the ending won’t be powerful.

Life is a series of chapters, some more challenging than others. A difficult page doesn’t mean the whole book is doomed. It just means you haven’t reached the part where things turn around yet. Often, it’s the tension in the hard chapters that makes the resolution that much sweeter later. When you view your current situation as temporary, it frees you from believing it defines who you are.

Coaching Question:
If you looked at your current challenge as just one chapter, what would you want the next one to say?

This perspective frees you from feeling stuck in the moment. By naming what you’d like the next chapter to hold — peace, resilience, laughter, connection — you give yourself a target to move toward instead of staying stuck on the page you’re in.

Action to take
Write a sentence that captures how you’d like your “next chapter” to feel. Place it somewhere visible and let it guide the choices you make this week.
