About this quote

Big feelings often seem permanent when you're in them. Later those same hours get reduced to a sentence or a scene you tell out loud. That doesn't make your fear or joy smaller; it means you can choose how to act now so the story is honest. Name one concrete detail about today and take one small step tomorrow that fits the memory you want to keep.

When to use it

• After your boss calls you in and you get laid off, you tell your partner on the walk home: "This moment will just be another story someday."
• Sitting on the steps outside the exam hall after failing one test, you say to your study buddy: "This moment will just be another story someday."
• Packing up boxes after a breakup while on the phone with your sibling, you say: "This moment will just be another story someday."
• Watching your coach shake their head after you twist your ankle in training, you tell them: "This moment will just be another story someday."
