January 5th always feels like the moment in a book where the hero stops planning and finally steps onto the road. The excitement of the opening chapter has settled, and now the real story begins.
January can feel long, cold, and daunting, but this is where the plot is built: one small choice, one steady step, one page at a time. You don’t need to do everything at once. Just keep showing up for the story you’re writing with your life. Once you choose to move forward, even the biggest obstacles can turn out to be paper tigers—loud, intimidating, but beatable with persistence.
If this week were a chapter in your book, what would its title be?
