Most of us feel like we’re living out the movie of our life with expectation of some grand finale… A giant dance number at the end to celebrate all we’ve done or accomplished.

But at the end of the movie, don’t you feel just a little bit empty? A little lonelier because it’s finally over?

But life isn’t a movie. If anything, it’s more like a mini-series—multiple episodes and multiple seasons. And each one has its own stories, cliffhangers, and resolutions.

When you finish an episode of a mini-series, there’s anticipation and excitement for what comes next.

We should think about our lives in the same way.

When one story in life ends—when the credits start rolling—start working on a sequel immediately. Start filming the next episode or risk feeling lost.
