OT: Walking Through

I thought this was a really good article this morning. Something I will have to read and re-read a few times.

When Doors Open

When a door opens, walk through it. Trust that the door has opened for a reason and you have been guided to it. Sometimes we have a tendency to overanalyze or agonize over the decision, but it is quicker to simply go through the door and discover what’s there as that’s the only way to know. Even if it doesn’t seem right at first, opening this door may lead to another door that will take us where we need to go.

Doors open when the time is right for us to enter a new space, metaphorically speaking, and we can have faith that walking through is the right thing to do. Sometimes we linger in the threshold because we are afraid of leaving our old life for a life we know nothing about. We may have voices inside of our heads that try to hold us back or people in our lives saying discouraging things. These voices, internal and external, are known as threshold spirits, and they express all the fears and doubts that arise at the beginning of a new life. Nevertheless, none of these voices can hold us back, and they will fall silent as soon as we cross the threshold.

There are many doors that open in the course of our lives, leading us into new relationships, jobs, friendships, and creative inspirations. Our lives up to this point are the result of all the doors we have walked through, and our continued growth depends on our willingness to keep moving into new spaces. Every time we walk through an open door, we create a sense memory that encourages us to move into the new fearlessly. When we enter the new space, we almost always feel a thrill and a new feeling of confidence, in ourselves and in the universe. We have stepped across the threshold into a new life.

Darlene, thanks for posting this today. It is hard sometimes to go through doors that we have no idea what is on the other side of it. That is where the trust comes in for our Higher Power...whoever and whatever that is. Know that you HP will be there on the other side of the door waiting for you to enter.

I know those threshold spirits are out there. I had several when I walked through the door into my new life as a wls person. I am so glad that I didn't allow those spirits to detour me from it. I was so determined that I needed and wanted and most of all, deserved this new life. I am so happy and can't imagine what I would be like if I didn't walk through that door.

I have passed through many doors in my life...some good and others not so good. I have to remember that the doors that weren't so good ended up good if I made it a learning experience. I am of the belief that you learn from not only your own mistakes but those of others around you....why would you want to make more bad decisions if you can learn from the ones you made and that others have too.

Thanks again for the posting this morning...and I hope that I remember it for the next door...and there is always a new door just waiting for you.

Thanks for posting this Darlene.  I believe it is so true of WLS and of many opportunities that present themselves during our life.
