Your life, the Novel.

Guard your pages fiercely.

You are a writer; and your life is the most important story you will ever write.

It has a limited amount of pages upon which you can scribe. You do not know how many pages you have though, and you will not know when you are penning your finale. This is not morbid, this is empowering.

The good news is: you get to write the most wondrous story ever told. You get to draw the map that leads to your treasure.

The bad news is: the world will constantly try and draw you away from the writing of your novel. It will want you to focus on other novels, becoming envious, spiteful.

What you must remind yourself of constantly, is that when you focus on others—you hand them the pen to your novel. The limited pages you have, are now being filled in by someone else’s hand. Your story is now theirs to write—and your map leads not to your treasure, but to the souls abyss.

So take the pen back. Seize your power. Guard your pages fiercely. Write your adventure.

Focus on yourself! Become so incredibly immersed in the writing process of your life that everything else falls away. Mark your path forward, and do not stray from it; look neither to the left or right, only ahead.

This is the most important story you will ever create. You are the writer. Never forget who holds the pen. Never allow others to fill your pages with their ink.
