Words to Wonder:
The Art of What Comes Next
“When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one that has opened.”
— Alexander Graham Bell
Perspectives to Ponder
This past weekend, my wife, Vicky, and I went to the Stranger Things premiere at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. It was an epic people-watching extravaganza—the red carpet, the cast, the first episode of the final season, and the after-party under the lights of Hollywood Boulevard.
But it wasn’t until the Duffer Brothers (the show’s creators) spoke that I realized something. For many, a premiere is a glitzy celebration. But for the cast and crew, it’s also a goodbye. After ten years of working together, this was their final bow.
Transitions are fascinating things. We often focus on what’s ending instead of what’s beginning. I’ve felt that myself this week. After 18 months of writing Words to Wonder, it’s finally out in the world—which means, in a way, that chapter is over.
Fortunately, I’ve learned that momentum matters. So, the day after Words to Wonder launched, I started writing my next book, The Rules of Money, The Laws of Wealth. I can’t wait for you to read it... someday... after I write it.
Maybe you’re standing in a doorway too—between what was and what’s next. If so, don’t spend too long looking back. The best beginnings start before we feel ready. A year from now, you might be amazed at where you are... simply because you decided to start today.
THINGS WORTH THINKING ABOUT
Every minute, your body replaces 300 million cells. In seven years, nearly every part of you will be different from who you are today. You are, in a very real way, becoming an entirely new person.
What habits, stories, or fears might you shed to match the person you’re becoming?
Your heart beats about 100,000 times a day—steady, tireless, and unwavering.
What else quietly sustains your life that you rarely notice? Gratitude begins in the things we forget to see.
YOU’RE INVITED!

BEFORE YOU GO
Whether you’re in a season of beginnings or endings, I hope you find hope in what comes next. Life will always be changing, but there will always be wonder and possibility—if we choose to look for it.
Stay inspired by the life you’re living,
Kevin
