“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 which has opened for us.”
Alexander Graham Bell
You’ve probably heard this many times before; maybe you’ve even spoken these words to a friend or family member. What I’ve noticed lately is that the people who are thriving right now – yes, there are people who are thriving! – are actually living these words. Rather than spending time “staring” at the closed doors, they’re seeking out the open ones and walking right through them!
In one of my recent coaching groups, I had members spend time creating a list of the doors they see opening right now, and they came up with an incredibly powerful list! Out of the 10 themes we came up with is that because of the “slowdown” and “tightening up,” we’re seeing people become more focused on what’s really important to them.
People are spending more time with family and friends, and starting new careers that they have always dreamed of. They’re making better decisions for themselves and their families that will continue on into the future even when the economy springs back.
The end result of this raised consciousness will be more people living more authentic lives! People who have shifted from living a life others think they should live to living their true values, purpose and mission.
