Hi there, I'm Diane Gorcell and I'm also known as Silver
Disobedience and this is the Silver Disobedience Podcast.
Today I want to talk about the idea of turning the page.
One of my favorite songs is the song Turn the Page.
So whether it's Bob Seger's original version, which is
spectacular, or Metallica's cover, which is my personal
favorite, whenever Turn the Page comes on the radio, wow, my mood
gets pumped up. Even though it's kind of a slow,
Moody, intense song. Of course, while it might be
painful to others and their ears, I start singing along.
I know all the words and I really like that song, but what
I want to talk about is not my bad singing, but rather that in
life sometimes there comes that time when we have to choose to
turn the page. Sometimes it could be many times
when we have to choose between turning the page, closing the
book, or taking the book all the way to the very end.
When we choose to turn the page, what we're really doing is we're
choosing to transition in some way or another to move on, to go
forth from maybe one roll to another, one position to
another, one location to another, one mindset to another.
It might involve making the choice to move from a negative
to a neutral to possibly or hopefully a more positive
situation if we've decided it's time to move on.
We don't need momentous events to trigger a turn the page
moment, although it might be an event.
I've got some hairs in my face, although it might be an event or
a situation or a person that does cause us to decide that
chapter's over. At any time in our lives we can
turn the page. By making a choice to change
something that would positively move us forward and create
benefits in some way, we choose to turn the page.
Maybe I just smiling. Smiling more is one way we can
churn the page. It can change all kinds of moods
and how we're feeling in any particular moment.
Choosing to laugh, laugh at ourselves to understand the
absurdity sometimes of life going on around us.
Embracing new friendships, maybe changing our work.
Moving could be another example. Exercising.
Choosing to turn the page by adding something more positive
to us. Or conversely, eliminating
something that's maybe an unhealthy habit.
The possibilities are endless. Maybe you've had to turn the
page, close the book. Maybe you're determined to see
it all the way to the end. Whatever you choose to do,
here's something I know for sure about you.
You've learned lessons. You've learned lessons along the
way in any books you've been involved with because every book
has at least one good lesson. I'm Diane Russell.

I try to keep these mini unless I'm interviewing someone, so
they're little short takeaways for you.
I hope you have a great day and I hope you subscribe.
Thank you very much.
