Sometimes, when a door closes—a situation in our lives
ends—if we're brutally honest with ourselves, we're really not that fazed by
its ending, because it either wasn't resonating with our spirits from the
beginning, or, over time, our priorities changed and now that scenario isn't in
alignment with our path.
But still ... when that door closes, sometimes there's this
[long or short] moment of freak-out, where we get all up in arms about its
dissolution, and we may even go out of our way to try to keep it, causing
ourselves undue stress, when in reality, the thing isn't what we're trying to
keep; it's the end result that we're attached to, the way that thing served us,
how it kept us comfortable or safe in some way. That's what we're scrambling to
hold on to. The fear of that door closing and not having that end result,
either ever again or for a really long time, is what drives us to dishonor
ourselves by clinging to something that our spirit has decided it's time to let
go of and make room for a bigger, better, even more satisfying scenario.
Everything changes and everything ends, in one way or
another. When doors close, let's remember (I'm saying "let's" cuz I'm
talking to myself, too) that it's because, in hospital terms, "visiting
hours are over." We're just visiting with these scenarios until it's time
to advance. Some of them last years, decades, even. But at some point, the
visit will end. And when it does, it'll be because we're ready spiritually,
even if our ego says we're not.
Trust your spirit when doors close. Spirit is supreme. It
knows when enough is enough. So pack up, say a jubilant good-bye, and walk away
with anticipation of your next place of visit, in a new, grander situation.
