Chapters

How often do we take the time to consciously close chapters in our lives? This can apply to anything - jobs, relationships, projects. A lot of times we celebrate the start of something new, and by default some chapters close.

Yesterday, I became aware that there was something outstanding that I hadn’t closed. And because I didn’t, there was a lingering feeling of being unfinished. By not being finished, I was still the person people gravitated towards when needing assistance, which began to create a sense of resentment within.

The only person responsible for this was me.

We may not always get the ending or resolution we seek. Sometimes we may even forget. However, that doesn’t mean we must continue to keep the door open. And, it’s important to create a ritual where we progress and bring things to a natural close. If you feel that it’s time to close a chapter, go ahead and close it.

One chapter must close, to commence the beginning of another.
