In "To Be Told: Know Your Story, Shape Your Future," Dan B. Allender emphasizes that every conclusion heralds the start of something new. As one chapter in life closes, it’s essential to recognize the potential of new beginnings. This transition invites individuals to reflect on past experiences while remaining open to new opportunities that lie ahead.

Allender also highlights the importance of taking breaks during our journeys. He portrays the denouement as a time to pause and engage in joyous activities like eating, singing, and dancing. This interlude is essential for sharing our stories with others, allowing us to connect and draw from collective experiences as we move forward.
