Denouement



I read a compelling article today; one segment particularly caught me eye:


"Create Happy Endings Whenever Possible – The power of endings is quite remarkable.  The end of any experience has a profound impact on a person’s overall perception of the experience as a whole.  Think about reading a fairly well written, thought provoking novel.  Now imagine the ending totally sucks.  Even if the story was captivating up until the ending, would you still be happy recommending the novel to a friend?  People always remember the ending.  If the ending is happy, the experience creates happiness.  Always tie loose ends, leave things on a good note, and create happy endings in your life whenever possible."

How much truer can these words be? Whether it be the end of your day, the end of a week, the end of a season, the end of a relationship, it is important to remember to tie those loose ends, end on a good note, go to bed happy. Never let the last thought to cross your mind be a despondent one. It is solely your own responsibility to mold your happiness, create a good ending. 
For you.

I couldn't help myself but add the photo of the beautiful Eiffel Tower, under construction. Now that had a good ending.
