The open window

Aug 03, 2018

One of my brilliant clients dropped a gorgeous piece of advice on me last week.

As we talked through something she’s working on (and feeling slightly out of sorts with), I asked her to close her eyes and speak what advice was coming up for her. It’s this:

Go to the open window, not the closed door.

Holy Hallelujah! I love that so much. Why make it hard by continuing to bang your head against the closed door? Instead, look for the path that’s already open and available to you.

Just the advice I needed later that day as I puzzled over how to handle something. I was trying like crazy to cobble together solutions that weren’t working (so closed door), until I reminded myself that someone else volunteered to manage it completely (open window!!) Why was I making it so hard? I have no idea. And now it’s handled.

What windows are open to you? Take a good look around and you might be surprised!
