If Your Life Were a Movie

Imagine this: you're sitting in a movie theatre, popcorn in hand, the lights dim, and the screen flickers to life. But this isn’t just any film, it’s your story.

Now pause for a second and ask yourself, if you were the writer and director of this movie, would you be happy with the script so far? Would the plot feel like it’s heading somewhere meaningful, or is it time for are write?

In every great film, there’s a turning point. The moment the protagonist: ordinary, unsure, afraid, maybe even broken, decides they are not going to be defined by what’s already happened. Think of Harry Potter, who chose to stand and fight even after a lifetime of loss and loneliness. Or Geet from Jab We Met, the bubbly, fearless girl whose life takes a heart breaking turn, but who picks herself up, redefines her identity, and chooses a life on her own terms. Or even Tony Stark (Iron Man), who transformed from a self-absorbed arms dealer to a self-sacrificing hero. These characters didn’t just react to their circumstances, they rewrote their roles, reframed their pain, and reclaimed their power. So why not you?

The Pen is in Your Hands

Often, we live inside inherited stories told who we should be, what we can expect, what "people like us" do or don’t do. Sometimes these scripts are comforting; other times, they box us in.

But here’s the plot twist: one chapter does not define the whole story.

Maybe your last act was filled with fear, failure, or hesitation. Maybe the character arc looked flat. That’s okay. The beauty of your story is that it’s still being written and you are both the protagonist and the author.

Rewriting your story doesn’t mean erasing the past it means editing with intention. You can keep the raw edges, the messy drafts, the deleted scenes. They make the story real.

But from this moment on, you get to write with awareness, with courage, and with clarity. Not for anyone else’s approval but so that when you sit in that theatre again, you’ll be proud of the journey, no matter where it leads.

Because the best stories aren’t the perfect ones. They’re the ones that change.
